I often feel barraged by bull …. this has been tripping around in my head in one form or another! For you Paddy ….

Who’s News?

Seems that those who are in control have all really done their bit

Resulting in an exponential increase in what I suspect absolute bullshit

The feed is almost constant now and conspires to daily deceive

The general population with a steady diet of make-believe

Sorting fact from fiction now is difficult, even impossible to call

I wonder what version or level of truth is shared to one and all

Now the strangest thing I glean from this that I find a little odd

Why we’d consider listening to those for whom, only money is their God

The wealthy could easily solve the world’s ills of poverty and health

And still be left with what would be, what you’d term obscene wealth

Those who question are vilified for exercising their basic right

To query those faceless persons and continue with their fight

Against global corporations who control most the terms of play

And barrage us with misinformation for twenty four hours every day

So call me mad and doubt I’m sane, that’s a prerogative for you

But do not discount the ones who care and give a contrary point of view

History is sadly riddled with those who will always seek personal gain

Regardless of the havoc wreaked and resultant grief and pain

Trust your instincts and intuition to guard against this constant daily diet

Of lies, deceit disguised as ‘news’ I challenge you Just Try It!!
