April 11: The importance of accurate information
Today’s News

A young boy is shot,
and we’re besieged by a juggernaut
of renderings by folks who
weren’t there and don’t have a clue.

May we have some facts, please?

Politicians ranting about our fate
can only spin and speculate
in esoteric rhetoric,
without substance that will stick.

May we have some facts, please?

In the continuous cycle of news,
instant “experts” constantly abuse
our trust on the internet and TV
with their guesstimates of what will be.

May we have some facts, please?

In today’s market for the weird,
journalistic discipline has disappeared.
We have opened Pandora’s box
and poured out a bunch of crocks.

May we have some facts, please?
