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.

Just after surfing around through the web and coming across proposals which are not productive, I believed my entire life was over. Existing without the solutions to the issues you have fixed as a result of your main article is a crucial case and the kind which might have negatively affected my career if I had not encountered your website.

I’m able to now look ahead to my future. Thanks for your time very much for this reliable and amazing help. I won’t hesitate to recommend your web site to anybody who should receive guide about this matter.
