When exposing a crime,
is treated as committing a crime, 
one thing is self evident in general.
You are being ruled by criminals....

words can never
be destroyed
your voices will remain
your pictures eternal
we of good faith
will be one and
those who need
a savage God
will be alone
at the end.

And through that door is the morgue
The editor said, motioning toward 
an unassuming, flat-black, painted door
“Do you want to see it?”
The wanna-be journalists from high school 
Began shaking their heads ‘no’....

American broadcasts carry details
emerging from government hints
indicating journalists kindly “leaked” major news
of presidential quote reputedly saying,
“Trump’s ultimate victors were xenophobic young zealots.”...

Zany

unconcious,

Stating:
"Rare

Duck,

Hiding in their basement caves,
the ‘journalists’ deride

The light of facts and truth cast dim,
a downward fatal slide

Where once out in the open,
clear vision far and wide

Credibility buries deep
—their fear a den of lies

Rondelet: Scoop of the World		

Scoop of the World
It’s not what rich Advertisers say
Scoop of the World
But yacht golf formula one gold
Where scoop-searching Journalists stray
There the Readers cannot say, “Nay!”
Scoop of the World

Red undulating plain.
Blue tarpaulin.  
Little orange tree. 

Rice
Red Cross
On my plate.
Rohingya mouth.
This yellow dal. 

Journalists, but
Admire 
My agony  
Distress pictures
Better!   

Stateless boy 
Singing 
'Future'.
Silly song 
Atop the Black rock....

Eyes see whatever they want
legs step wherever they are placed
ears hear whatever is available
but eyes, legs, ears  at work
are freelance investigative journalists
which upon offence of the laws
escape justice, and place the body
in the docks for investigation
torture and all forms of abuse...

It’s a bicycle to ride
On a death-free roadside,
The killer cars gone to hide,
Busy traffic at its lowest tide
And catastrophe unlikely to glide!

So, why my time now bide?
For its tyres won’t ever slide;
All the slippery muddiness dried,
My concerned eyes, watchful and wide…

Journalists to never report “A rider has died”....

If you get to Dublin, do the Literary Pub Crawl
Visit the Bailey, The Bachelor, McDaids, Mulligans
Places journalists used to congregate after work
in the 1920’s, when Dublin had three newspapers

James Joyce, Samuel Beckett and Flann O’Brien might appear
They would be ghosts of course, but you might catch a glimpse
They were known to frequent these pubs, being Irish and all
If you get to Dublin, do the literary Pub Crawl...

No, my Lord,

Mercy, for their wretched souls, I could

Never ask

Let them burn into eternity for their atrocious crimes,

Committed against humanity 

And

Against the law of Thy infinite love !*

*After burning a Jordanian pilot alive, decapitating two Japanese 
journalists and killing a woman for not wearing shoes, yesterday the 
fanatics decapitated a father and a son in Iraq. When all this end?...

I will leave sorrows for
the journalists to report--
the way the cat deposits 
dead birds on 
my WELCOME mat.

I will pass on riddles like:
What is the survival 
rate of betrayal 
among women who
were once
father-less girls?
Or do broken promises
ache like broken bones?

Now, I prefer only to study:
the sound of your breath giving 
life to the room, the way your 
strong hand grasps mine 
as you recover,  and the tastes
of morning after I've filled 
my mouth with you....

Changes at CNN

CNN has cut its staff
Jewish writers are all gone
Leaving only Arab journalists
There to carry on

I’m not saying they’ll be biased
Or reporting won’t be thorough
But it’s just the office gutted
Was their small Israeli Bureau 

CNN used to send out both
An Arab and a Jew
To cover any story
In the mid-east that is true

Now I wonder what this means
When reporting on those scenes
Will we get the truth from the mid-east climes
Or the Fatah and the Hamas lines
