There is nothing to gain
And so much to lose
By watching the news
Lies disguised as truth
A political game
That’s gone too far
A game of money
And power
And we are the crowd
That cheer’s or boo’s
When they win
Or when they lose
We’re suckered into it
We try not to pay attention
But when they make enough noise
We tune in again
A steady stream of the world’s sin
Twisted to win points
Twisted to get votes
Twisted to smear
This cooperate press
Dead in our chest
The pumping heart
Is fed lies from the start
What horrible news it is
To learn
There is nothing to gain from the news
And everything to lose.
-C.H.
