Political Poetry

Sensationalism

by jackie rae

Each headline designed, to spark a debate.

Chalk up to concern, or thinly veiled hate?

They’re only minors, with no right to choose.

They may change their minds, they’re only confused.

 

Teachers to blame, some others proclaim.

Exploiting the crowd, as if it’s a game.

Each side believing, the other the fool.

Some say the result, of no God in schools.

 

Instilling their fear, “quick, lock your doors!”

Ignoring the number, of oil fueled wars.

Herding the masses, as if they were cattle.

Don’t like what you hear? Change the channel.
