The newsmen drown us in the facts,
But meaning their rendition lacks;
They have a hidden agenda,
To treat it like a soap opera.
One dismal image trails another,
To tell us why is too much bother;
Our leaders speak an in-group code,
A thing which to our ill must bode.
The rich and powerful rule the roost,
War gives their profits quite a boost;
The media folk are in their sway,
They acquiesce in every way.
Who pays the piper calls the tune,
They drench us in a fact monsoon;
They say it is democracy,
But why not call it shite?
