News Cycle

 +o.  News Cycle  .o+
The news cycle is not about
Sport or economics
The business deals of the day
Political interactions many
None may gain a mention
Unless the media is of interest
Peace brought to a troubled land
Less interesting than an actor glands
For actors popular are newsworthy
Stories a few news cycles old are not
Fresh perspectives and views
New angles of consideration
Even if the journalist does not agree
With what they write
How good the job they do
To make it interesting for you
So much by news cycles does not fit
In politics or business
Great disasters on stock exchange continue
Even after the news is written
Underlying fundamentals the same
Even if no longer stated
In the daily media round-up
Sets us into depression
Bad is always better
Heroism a troublesome trait
For move a few adjectives
And shining knight of hour
Becomes a villian to negate
Courageous becomes reckless
Without thought for own safety
Becomes a suicidial death wish
All you read see and hear
Discuss in morning or over beer
Has been written to sell to you
A commodity journalistic
Not written by those who know
Written by those who can write
The best expressions with prejudices true
To make you read and hear and view.
