to hell with the news

to hell with the news


junkies cant get enough
every morning i took my fix
had to inhale it all
inject in from the globe
shoot it down from acroos town.

if i didn't know
how could i help change
the screwed up world?

when i meet people
i needed to look smart.
" shit he really knows what
the hell is going  on"

my kids , employees, wife
parents , cousins and the
monkey in the zoo needed to hear
the news from me

my business will
do better if i know
what the hell is going on
from corner to corner
and deep under and out in
space

hit after hit
snort after snort
put it all in me

- now -


i'll change nothing
who cares if they think
im smart or a dumb ass
let them all learn
for them selves- if they wish


i ain't changing the world
and the news ain't helping
me change

this junky's off the needle .

If you have a secret way to kick the CNN real world soap opera habit please let the rest of us know what is is. Good write

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
