You’re uncertain why
you return
Every day you watch, it comes
damn doom
Snaking along invisible
poisoning the home
It clutches you by the jaw
open wide
dripping darkness into minds
settle in, shut down inner light
Thoughts bubbling with despair,
watching too much TV
then feel strange wondering if you’re crazy
for questioning 'reality'
Ah, everyone has a dilemma your taxes never fix
until you recognize the game is rigged
there’s no coming back from this…
Okay, just wait for the next smooth operator savior
All that power behind podiums
talking, important papers,
official seals, doublespeak
It’s election season, remember?
Weapons, race, life, Christ
"Are you offended yet?
Yes? Great, vote for me!"
Ugh! It’s dripping on me
Damn doom
It settles inside on a mission to distort minds
producing shadows where there once was sun
establishing uncertainty where I once was strong
I must let go, sever the power
I’m going to live my life
With a peaceful,
quiet mind
Doom

( ° ͜ʖ͡°) Goodness, this is so accurate!
I wish I could make my grandma read this poem :)) She watches the news (almost) 24/7…

I always love it when you post poetry. This is much too accurate. We live in a world where media can often control people and it drives some to extremes.

This is why I do not watch news or even TV!
I prefer reading newspaper.
You write so beautifully my friend. I’m a admirer of your work. It’s fun, it’s intriguing, it’s unexpected, it’s dazzling.

Ahh, I used to love reading the newspaper. I don’t see them around very much out here now.
Thank you so much my friend! I appreciate your kindness. 💕-
You don’t get newspaper at home or they do not publish newspaper??
-
They do, I would have to pay for a subscription to get the newspaper sent to the house and it’s way too much. Probably cheaper just to pick it up in the grocery store, but then there’s the cost of gas… I could walk to the store but then, it’s like 115 degrees outside… Muhaha

You read e-newspaper.
That’s always an option.
We get 2 newspapers in 2 languages.
Right now you need to sleep 😛 -
Haha, I know right? I’ll go in a little while. 🙂 Best wishes to you, have a peaceful day!
