Tabloid Trash

I can't believe you read that trifling,
Half-baked, made up garbage can liner...
Headline grabber, sensational bilker
Of common sense reasoning out on a ledge.
Even the Ancients knew two-headed monsters
Were only a fable made up on a lark,
But tabloids would have us believe they are real,
Would push to the brink and go over the edge.
Alien babies and six-year-old mothers,
Sightings of Elvis and J.F.K...
Three headed llamas and reincarnations
Of Christ on the cross on the Vatican walls.
Stories "bizzaro" ... Stories "fantastique" ...
Psychic phenomenon spoken as truth.
Callous predictions of armed Armageddon
Sweeping the Earth as democracy falls.
Such a waste of out forest's treasure;
Unwanted ink spilled onto a page.
To think that the human race is so gullible
First makes me wonder, then
Fills me with rage.
