following the two oldest is reporting.
Herodotus gave us Greece!
Moses gave us Egypt!
And then there was Cronkhite,
He gave us the world.
Throughout time there are always
Those who report the news.
The Troubadours used to go around
Singing it in public squares
Others would put on plays
For the poor to see what was occurring
This is how so much of the Modern European
Press developed into a party on the networks.
From upstanders of the laws
To promoters of the righteous
To protectors of the innocence
To condemner of the really bad boys.
We have all watched our knights
Grow up in their own shoes
To become mega heirs
To a profession that they might
No longer be in control
With the National Enquirer
Still in operation
And other news related
Options allowed to stalk and harass
Some out of office and homes
While others moved in on a good thing.
They don't have the training or the expertise.
They also don't have the nose.
They aren't in the game for the news
But for the glory, slaying everything
In front of them without regard
To maybe that one might have been useful
You know in the long run.
We still need those willing
To go out and investigate
And report accurately
We don't need is opinions
Based not on facts
But supposition
Nor on what is convenient
Because that honey
Is yesterday's news...
