it’s simply awesome
how much energy
is spent to document
the newness of the news
no matter how repetitive
may be the words of the reporters
the hype needs to be built
no matter whether right or stilted
driven by fear the topic might be wilted
a minute later
and half an hour later
you hear the same with minor variations
adorned with various speculations
so that the viewers may get the illusion
it’s NEW – though it is old,
and just repetitive
an endless loop of hyped-up trivialities
of who did what and when and why
maybe with whom or not
makes you aware that even new banalities
rarely include what really matters
to the majority of people on this globe

some people make you seriously wonder
about
what makes them tick so brazenly
against
all values they supposedly hold high
is it a tunnel vision
of greedy individuality?
a dangerous mix
of arrogance, innocence, ignorance?
or are they simply overwhelmed
with unexpectedly gained power
mistake the votes of people
for a mandate to play god?
unknown may be the causes
but the results are clear
if you preach water but drink wine
throw precious pearls before swine
say things today that you deny tomorrow
folks may still listen to your words
but do no longer follow the meaning
of perma-hype that makes no sense
sooner or later
they‘ll simply stop listening
