What Did They Tell You Poem by Deci Hernandez

What did they tell you to talk about
Today
What is it you read in the newspaper's
Way

They told me to talk about his murder
And how she was wronged

Thet told me talk about the earth
How she is readying for her polar bears
To be Gone

They told me to talk about
The incumbent and nominee

They told me to talk about
The losers and prodigies

They said if you do not talk about these
Then simply read or watch more tv

What is it media wants
Me to be?
