Another day of news

Draw your conclusions, 

though sketchy they may be

considering the wealth of lies 

in the land where speech is free.

Paid in dirty dollars 

or cryptos hidden hand

agendas spent in foul intent, 

the truth in sinking sand.

In clouded obfuscation 

sits the mirror world of memes

where bots release their drivel to 

an endless scrolling screen,

as headlines come in thick and fast 

and soundbites detonate

the zone is full of mindless bull 

and the acrid tang of hate.

With them and us divided 

and us and them at war

confusion at the heart of things 

we wait to hear the score.

With fulltime soon approaching 

an extra time awaits

beyonding this is penalties 

and the certainty of fate

Unless we find an answer to 

the questions that we fear

We’ll all just keep on shouting 

as the day of doom appears

“I told you so” we’ll tell them, 

“ we told you so “ replies

with each of us beseeching 

those who never really tried

To listen to each other,

make time for other views

as we swam within the sewage of

another day of news.
