I take the news like bitter drops
Told to me by self-important loud-mouth fools
I fear my ears will bleed listening to their slop
Unnerving barks of disdain from partisan tools
I need not a spoonful of sugar to stomach their truth.
Better to digest logic and pull out lies by their roots.
When falsehoods recycle they are the world’s dirtiest fuels
Simple to burn and even easier to use.
I fear for the veracity printed on bubblegum wrappers
Ripped and discarded, then walk on by their shoes
A News Maker’s mind is as sturdy as tissue paper
They never report so much as speak their bias views
God damn their trickery is this nation’s biggest ruse.
