I Got the News Blues

Heard them say
It’s an information explosion
A veritable feast from the chosen
Implosion, corrosion symposium

Round the clock news coverage
Underage plunderage.
Thunder-age,
Hunger-age.


Got you on the edge of your seat
Waiting for one to press delete
Wondering about tomorrow?
Here today, gone to sorrow

Got you on the edge of your seat
It’s the enemy we need to defeat

We’re all up in arms
Not with guns or mortar
About something some reporter
Importer, distorter
Coming to you from headquarters
With script in hand
Smiling faces, showcases
This is breaking news

Heard it all before
Give me the blues
They go well with the news.

Got you on the edge of your seat
Fears quite an aphrodisiac
Even for a maniac
Manias its’ own brand of crazy
Upsidaisy, theocracy, hypocrisy
Raised on the flavory
It’s awesome savory

Hear, Hear
Breaking news here
Take a seat
It’s about to begin
Kingpin, Lynchpin,
No spin, we win

Hoorah for our side
Upside, war bride
Goodness is out of sight
Please, don’t get upset
It’s just a staged set
Take a seat
It’s about to begin

It’s justified genocide
Said the distorter reporter
Only a few have died.
And

We’ll be back
After this intermission
Said with precision
Without a hint of derision

Waving from the bleachers
Behind all the preachers
Teachers, truth seekers
With a wink and a nod
A short message from our sponsor,
God,

And now for more news.
Stephen Leacock Oct 2021
The woman of balance and order
The woman that corrects disorder
The woman that fights for you in battle
The woman with a blind fold of the border
The woman like Hindu goddess that brings peace and order
The woman that is the supporter
The woman that is the importer and the exporter
The woman that is the warrior
The woman that makes you feel safe Nourished and warmer
The woman that is the queen and the explorer
The woman is like a red bird of honor
The sands of time flow like a phone call
from the nickel back to the covering dime
ignorance was sublime in a nation space or place
knitting and weaving throughout all of time
cooperative and viable the business of Identity
a song or a new psalm walking hand in hands
from the podium into the world hunting stands
going under seeking above the trees and throughout the skies
uncovering truths and delivering those lost in lies
a doorway leading to a labyrinth of keys
or a hallway leading to distant rooms
follow me a voice was heard just as the gate began to close
what was the importer's new clothes?
was it for them or those the fireman brought a special hose
heaven on Earth or the hell below
the time of times only the Angels know
but today knowledge grows from the hearts of many
into the deep unknown like an orchestra whispering to and fro
if today were yesterday and tomorrow was today
these are the words we all would say
this too shall P.A.S.S.
~Psalms 19
Psalms 19

Tired and weary this sentinel be
yet defiant he stands with arms drawn
unwavering spirit that hold him still
as the blood the drips and boils

it shall not be the end till he folds
the beats of his heart resound loud
as the thunder of the hallow skies
noble be his duty till the final relief

striving till the final strength fades
death may come and steal him now
yet never his glory neither his honor
as he who hold the helm against the odds

he has sowed his seed to this free land
to which he toiled its grand fertile soil
that no tyrant invader may trample
where no importer may reap its wealth

vanguards of the deep and high
your name shall echo clear
your acts shall ring out to history
legacy eternal forever shall be told
Norbert Tasev Mar 2020
Because he can do nothing else: in the eternal escape cycle, the vulnerable man is moving forward as an ant! The Mobius Ladder Tape is deliberately bypassed or chewed! It looks like a posterior, repulsive, degeneration blur if we detect something from our superficial world without the sight of the eyes of a researcher! The spring of the ghosts of the ghostly moon settling upon us, the silent night shadows staring upon us in the velvet of our nights!

It would be good to believe that the hearts of our modern, despondent children are not yet mocked by a dream; it might seem like a cosmic eviction order if "some" are deprived of eternal player curiosity! Because one who is already involved in a pre-planned act may not yet be able to credibly play the role of an importer; the building night cannot be surrounded by anything other than a dark-skinned underworld! Cool restlessness over it: the perceptible Universe is enriched with a special pitch-compound!

In a web of lies lies a sneaky breed; deceptive, radiant lights falling in dying, pale moonlight! The flaming, human soul will also become a fugitive Nivive! As a ringing burglar chain, all of us click on the locked, locked iron-clasp locking heart! "The Uncertain Future is already a silent, outcast wolf-examination with conscious despair!" In the cold arctic cold space, only the vulnerable can remain sober, pure, silent!

In the pearls of sincerity that open the cloud-folds of the eyes, the immortality of that moment trembles!
