I read five different newspapers online this morning
I still don't know where the vox populi has gone
nor do I know what is going on out there
in the world of which I am something
what I have learned is that more questions come
When did celebrity procure the mantle of moral representation?
Why are actors and musicians harder to buy than (un)elected officials? When will school teachers be remunerated at the level they deserve?
Can all this be turned into palatable verse?
One that avoids the indignity of chewing out my own tongue
Thank you dear Internet for ruining my morning
