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.
