If the news isn’t the news anymore
What do you call it?
The names change, but
The actions are always the same.
Isn’t that plagiarism?
This one dies
That one dies
It gets in the news
And everybody sues.
When did they decide to place
The obituaries on the front page
of the newspaper?
The alliterate majority only looks at the headlines,
Thus, furthering the climb
To the greater ignorance,
ILLITERACY.
Old news seems to be
The flavour of the day
Any day… Everyday.
Can comfort truly be found in
the predictable,
the repetitive,
the forever redundant
headlines?
yes, Enough
To seek out the tabloid sorrows
For entertainment.
Finally, how
Many more people will seek
The hero making headlines
By admitting abuses,
By terrorizing themselves,
By homicide?
Please,
Recompose yourselves.
We have enough conflict.
by M. Perron (Originally written September 1992)
Notes: I think this is when I realized TV news was a load of crap. News media had become entertainment.

“I am a Successographer.
I believe successful people have passion for the work they do.
Their passion makes the work great and I get a RUSH when sharing their stories.
I write to help amazing people get their greatest work into the world."
Multipotentialite!
This sums me up best... I'm always practicing how to turn a lifetime of curiosity & a passion for sharing knowledge into The New Renaissance Mindset! Along my path, I've developed a passion for art, advertising, marketing, human behaviour, positivity, spirituality, and creativity in every aspect of my life. Lately, this has given me opportunities to coach and consult on these passions, and to add my art to a variety of projects.
I am fortunate enough to live in some amazing communities that allow me to network with Growth Mindset Thought Leaders, Coach Entrepreneurs on how to Wisely invest in their Growth, Brainstorm with Professionals to answer my favourite question: "Have you thought of...?", and I get to play with art materials.
Isn't life just Tremendous?
