Growing up
I was talked to about a few concepts
Consternation was my recent result in poetry
But back tracking to graduation in Santa Barbara 
I began an intern position 
Studying movement of our times
It shifted drastic in tone 
A lift of press powers
Prowess entertained

Higher Ground

Every time I turn my radio on
I hear the same old song
and I await good news from abroad today
especially a change is on the way
but I don't believe all they say
as how can they see eye-to-eye
or meet face-to-face
when east looks east and west looks west

Fake News

Informed by image
Shocking, stoking, misleading
Algorithm headlines

Porepunkah is headline news

They came with loaded guns a pack of ten police, for Desi Freeman

Over One Percent Of Floridas Prisoners Die Every Year In Prison And It's Never In The News

the sun cooks the fences
the guards smoke and laugh
men rot behind steel,
stacked like moldy bread.

sickness in the cells

no cameras come,
no headlines scream.
just a whisper in the dark,
and silence sells better than truth.

Elderly woman hit by a bus.
She was elderly people,
So what's all the fuss?
She  had a full life, 
What more can you say?
These elderly people,
They get in the way.
When you are old 
You should stay at home.
What  was she thinking?
going out all alone.
And as I read on I thought,
Can this be?
This elderly woman

Good News

Though they thought they were in command,
God’s timing is perfectly grand.
Expectant with seven,
there’s chuckles in heaven,
“And you thought that this was unplanned?”

A tomato met a non-tuber plant 
sweet music
a birth to what is known
as potatoes, these days also called fries
Just think if the tomato had not 
been so unfaithful trying it on with
any passing plant
What would  our diet be like 
without the beloved spud 
I read this in a paper that extols the free press

What a beautiful morning,

how sweet is the song !

Then I heard the news,

and the world is still wrong.
