THE NEWS


 “The News is many people's drug of choice; be careful, near them, just what words ya voice. 'Cause If ya take away their drug, they'll growl, oh yes, the vibes put out are gonna be quite foul! Addiction's subtle, friend, and very mean; they might be hooked at that there TV screen!”

I'M GONNA CHOOSE TO LOVE

With Trump enthroned, the corporations reign; their victims often like ta buy their lies. The man upon the throne is quite insane; like, how could someone prayer-less be wise? I’ve given up the “news”; so much is grim, but still I cherish people close ta me. I love the Lord, I’m gonna trust in Him, and loving ‘s how I’M gonna choose ta Be!”

"COUNTEPPUNCH" CAN BE HELPFUL

“If You want news, why not read “Counterpunch”? The lies are very few and far-between. That magazine is truthful, friend – a bunch – with facts in corporate media never seen!”

YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH

 “When ‘news’ is like an intravenous drip, and all the lies are drugs which kill the mind, ya wonder when will people get more hip, and rediscover truth, and be more kind. But truth and kindness I must practice first, just like the old “let peace begin with me”. And though the corporations do their worst, let’s you and I keep Saying what we see!”

ONLY TRUTH WITH LOVE CAN BE ENOUGH

(dealing with Trump)

“With Ignoramus Number One in charge, our troubles all may grow a lot more Large! Who really rules, I think that I can guess: the military, hot ta make more mess. ~ So, what’s a caring citizen ta do? We gotta know just what is going on! And corporate media won’t grant a clue, we must wake Up, before our chance is gone! Just what is true we really gotta know, and not just entertain ourselves each night! The networks only care about their dough; we can’t consume their lies, if we’d get right! If what ya hear ain’t kindly, it ain’t true. It must be helpful, necessary stuff! And seeking Truth is what we need ta do, and only truth with love can be enough!"

Puppets Lie


When puppets lie, somebody's pulled the strings, and whatcha hear's not really ringin' true. Elected puppets are but Underlings, fer Masters Bent on Robbing Me and You! If You beLieve the Lies, you've Been a Fool; some pretty puppets said impressive things; ta try ta scare ya, That's their Fav'rite rule; and When they're honest, Pigs will fly with Wings!

LET'S SEEK AND FIND PEACE AND JUSTICE!

Let's Seek and Find Peace and Justice


When Ig-no-rance is Fostered, Fears kin Rule; and So the CorpoRations Feed us Lies. They've Bought the Media, their Fav'rite Tool, so Greed kin Wear its Fool-the-Folks disGuise. Ashamed o' What-we- Do, we Hide from Light; we Just don't Want our CruelTies exPosed. AuTomaTons conTrolled by Needless Fright, our Minds and Hearts stay All-too-Often CLOSED! A Man once Said, “The Truth shall Make you Free”; he Said we'll KNOW that Truth, he Did inDeed! That Law apPlies ta YOU, as Well as ME! Let's PAY those Words o' Jesus Christ Due HEED! Ta KNOW the Truth, let's Ask, and Seek, and Knock; let's Not conTent ourSelves with Lesser Things! Let's Not deVour Lies from Empire's Crock; let's Find the Peace and Justice Kindness Brings!

DO YOU BELIEVE?

Do You Believe?

PunditWatch” found “Fox News” lies 60% of the time, and “MSNBC” lies 40% of the time. I'd like to report the results of a religious poll that asked, “Do you believe Fox News?” One person surveyed said, “I really Do beLieve in Fox aBove!” Another rePlied, “Oh! I beLieve in MSNBC!”
It's Corp'rit Crap, of Course, they're SPEAKin' Of, where Folks kin Feel self-Righteous, All fer Free!
