Complete Negative News

A Poem by Michael Stevens
"

Media overkill!

"

I won't name the news organization,

 

but if you read between the lines

 

I think you'll be able to figure out

 

Who I'm talking about; 24-hour guessing

 

About a real tragedy; the disappearance of Flight 370

 

Taking actual pain for the family's, and trying to cash in

 

Talking head apparently have no shame,

 

Trying to keep the mystery going by

 

Surmising, over and over, what could have happened,

 

And twisting everything into something negative

 

And evil; I mean, it still may be, but nobody knows,

 

And meanwhile, they're turning themselves

 

Into a big joke, only, do you see us laughing?

Poignant read Michael, cruel and unusual punishment for the families indeed, not to mention such unabashed exploitation, I guess those poor families will never have closure under the circumstances, but enough is enough.

Thanks Frieda, and yes, enough is enough!
People need closure or they can never truly move on but it is very cruel for anyone to exploit a person's tragedy for ratings or greed or any damn thing :)

That is the worst we should let Wini have a go at them !!
Nothing to laugh about here. But we need t know what's going on. Humans are not satisfied until a puzzle is solved.
