Democracy Cycles Poem by C H Sund
Democracy Cycles
Ah, the ‘buzz’, pundits newest phrase
TV time… Got to sell those spots!
Cycles, ten minutes, segments aired!
Ratings and rates- the fourth estate!
Politicians… so aware,
timing their cycles, leaking views.
Just in time, primetime news, what luck!
Round we go; round we go…the news!
The viewers, ten minutes... way long.
Breakfast on the run, fill us in.
Headlines will do, details, no time!
Got to run, got to go…must go!
Sorry about… democracy
No time to understand…the news
No time to comprehend… the news
No time to implement…our views!
Until it hits the pocketbook! ! !
