Unfolding across countless tables
the same exaggerated fables
packed with hidden half-truths
spreading an agenda based on fear.
Another fight,
another foreign war
in a fledgling republic
no one cares about.
Reports of a far off catastrophe,
heralding disaster--calamity!
Turn the page and read about the death
of a celebrity.
Ask the homeless. They will tell you:
These rags provide little comfort.
