just watched the news
my morning ritual

today's news, as I saw it
(today and this week)
as I heard them all interviewees
them politicians, men of God,
holy ones and pure ones
organizers and statesmen and entertainers
and various personalities,
they all used sincerity terms:
'….to be honest, ' one said…'to be frank…, ' said another
And yet another: 'I'll be frank with you….'
'Well, frankly speaking, ' declared one eminent person…
You wish the interviewer
would interrupt and say:
'You mean you haven't been honest till now? '

and yet, frankly speaking,
that's not news;
that's old wearied news
for I've heard that from 1960's
since I started watching interviewees,
to be honest
