TV "News"

Joel 1:6-7 New English Translation (NET Bible)
6 For a nation has invaded my land,
mighty and without number.
Their teeth are lion’s teeth;
they have the fangs of a lioness.
7 They have destroyed my vines;
they have turned my fig trees into mere splinters.
They have completely stripped off the bark and thrown it aside;
the twigs are stripped bare.

Satire: Point of view ... the "news"

 

Is it not what a person did wrong and not really how I see it?

An amazing turn towards change and see the law as a bowl of jelly

Some see it as an idol carved in stone not caring or the victims feel it

As priests of illusionary justice are forming lots of yellow-bellies

 

I did not think the world to be right, so here I stand sitting down for hours

Reminiscing on a pot of ease and find ways however it tries to convince me

What I’m filled with is not departing as emotions move around with might

I give up on the news-TV, as they twist the truth to make their justice sleazy

 

They will blast on the airways to find a twisted moral of the story

In hope, the world will digest the words of sniffy, huffy, and snitcher

The stuff that is not worth the keeping will be over-analyzed in gory

And should be flushed down the drain as I have enough of them critters
