Rolling News Poem by Adrian Wait

Rolling News



I live my life
Inside my head
It really doesn’t
Matter anymore
Your words spill
Fall to the floor
Litter consumes
Numbs the mind
Lipservice vomits
Bastardised misspeak
Rolling trivia
Masked as news
Enables control
More of the same
Extra, extra
Feed all about them
Froth over content
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Researchers review
Tinker and edit
Swap old for new
Pointless tokens
Wasted paper
Truth divided
Truth denied
Empty liberalism
Ensures escalation
Salaries and seminars
Expand with every crisis
Experts released
Reviewers review
Amid celebrity news
Likeminded conferences
Feast of adjectives
Celery for the hungry
Everyone speaking
No one listening
I live my life
Inside my head
It really doesn’t
Matter anymore
Bought or sold
Your words, revamped
Heartless empty lies
Softminded nilism
