RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: JOURNALISM
ABC Bends the Knee
George Stephanopoulos misspoke
He took a step over the line
But if the Court was not a joke
What he said would be just fine
Freedom of the press is on the run
The warning is in place
The Bill of Rights is largely done
They will toss it in your face
The talking heads are bowing down
Leave your courage at the desk
A new journalism is in town
In propaganda we invest
The pundits and the powers
Are all bending at the knees
They’re all sacrifice and cower
They’re trying hard to please
We are a nation in retreat
We will toss away our rights
We’re telling everyone we meet
That this is not the time to fight
But if you’re having second thoughts
If you don’t like how it goes down
There’s still a battle to be fought
Find the guts to stand your ground
(ABC pays Trump millions to
settle a defamation suit.)
