Narcissists & Hacks Poem by DM W

Poets plug their latest poetry books
On Facebook. It's all about flawed egos
Not the beauty of the written word. 'Look
At me! ' seems to be the message. The flow
Of constant infotainment is a cause
For concern, as is the palaver, that
Accompanies it. There should be a law
Against this kind of crap! Now we have hacks
Instead of seasoned journalists. Prophets
Have been replaced by idols and icons:
Most of whom are so easy to forget
Is life still worth living under the sun?
I hope and pray for a change in the scheme
Of things. Alas, it seems like a pipe dream.
