State of Affairs

For the visually challenged reader Sadje has provided us with this image, which shows a man standing and reading a newspaper, the pages of which appears to be on fire.

The media is nothing but liars

It’s so bad the

Newspaper even caught fire!

Full of nothing unbiased

Leave out the rampant racism

Only show riots!


What about the train

That went of the tracks

We are drinking poison

Why is no one reporting that?


She says it was rape

But he could really swim

Even with witnesses

His privilege almost let him win


On the other side of the world

There’s a war being fought

China is sending spy balloons

The idea of peace is shot


Our country is moving back in time

Taking away women’s human rights

What’s next? we could lose it all

If we don’t start to fight.


The politicians control the media

They influence what’s on the news

They promise us things will be better

How can we still believe this ruse?


Wake up! Wake up!

The news is full of lies

Stand up, be heard

Before everything good here dies.

-Nicole Smith, Momoetry
