Breaking News
Breaking
News! The vast, vast majority
Of eight
billion human beings haven’t killed
Anyone today,
nor were so ill-willed
As to
indulge in an atrocity.
Reports are
coming in that people aren’t
Generally
being greedy, indeed they live,
As far as
possible, cooperatively,
Even while
constantly being told they can’t.
Investigations,
it appears, have exposed
Allegations
that vile dictatorships
Are, or
were, socialist, come from the lips
Of capital’s
mouthpieces; debate closed.
Facts and
details, how and which ones to choose?
That choice
is what makes or can break the news.
