Tv News Poem by Je'free Y .

Morning, noon, evening, late night,
They flash it on your screen-
An episode of human drama,
A terrifying signal via satellite.

At least, there is that brown Maya
Singing a happy song at my window.
She chirps telling me the tides will turn,
Bringing winds of change.

Maybe, I should not disappoint her.
Maybe, I should promise her the smiling sun
Because she may not have a mother
Who will prepare her nest.


I will just switch channels,
And watch a Turner Classic Movie,
A rerun of I Love Lucy, Charlie's Angels,
Or even Sex and the City.

They may not be the best entertainment,
But at least they are portals to escape reality,
Like how the birds bring me hope
Amidst all of the hopelessness.

Maybe, you could hum a festive jingle.
Maybe, you could zone me out from TV News
Because this window has turned bleak & dreary,
And we have remained mere spectators.
