Daily News
Extra! Read all about it,
The news is all the same,
Nothing ever changes except,
Dates and peoples’ names.
Violent crime and killings,
Is saved for page one,
Anything that’s thrilling,
At the expense of someone.
Sports, the same old story,
The team either won or lost,
In business, it’s mandatory,
Always, we must know cost.
Classified ads, comic strips,
Travel pages, I have read,
The paper lists obits,
Of everybody dead.
Extra! Read all about it,
The news is all the same,
Nothing ever changes except,
Dates and peoples names.

darkerdreamerabout 17 years agotruthful and ironic piece. The irony lies in the lack thereof, I love it. You do amazing things with couplets, I'm tellin' ya!
KOLKOREabout 17 years agoOr else it's ironic...or written in humor, so subtle. Should I smile?
Go tell the parents who got the news today that their son has died in Falujah that nothing is different today. Bostonfictionwriter – “Nothing ever changes”? ; Amy – “Well put together”? Have you guys ever seen any loss beyond your personal lives? And that’s what you guys have to say? Do you even stop to look at the photos in the papers? Yes those those never change. Each face eyes hair pair of parents; boyfriend; girlfriend; children. THEY ARE ALL DIFFERENT. ALL UNIQUE. That’s what you should be Shouting and Crying about beyond the nihilistic sour tasteless meaningless smile. (Sorry to drag you from the sports section pal)
Maybe for you guys every thing is a joke or a "meta" experience or a “material “to be put well together” Or not. But there is a layer of real life out there. Hallo? Is anyone there? Nope silence, as usual in the Poetry dept is in a deep solipsistic slumber.
Hey Boston, you did write something (you wrote so much better elsewhere). You irked me. That’s something. Something could never be zero. Now wait for the barrage of unanimous ‘hundreds’ ratings. Trust them all!
