Altogether a wonderful, deeply serious poem of the kind you do so well. Brilliant closing lines!<br /><br />And then, OMG, I listened to Minhaj. Even without living there, hence missing a few references, I thought he was fantastic, and so spot on. <br /><br />Thank you!Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456333369930820298.post-79269076210962506942017-05-04T13:47:47.632-04:002017-05-04T13:47:47.632-04:00Thankfully, " We’re not robots yet"....O... Thankfully, " We’re not robots yet"....Oh yes! The deliberate making up of news stories to fool or entertain people is nothing new. It is time now that we start asserting that we too represent in society. Freedom of expression must remain.... :)<br />A powerful poetry, Susan.

Luckily there is media and journalists that do shine and we have to be thankful for them. It is no wonder that in countries with strict regimes much of the populace eventually believe the party line.

That is so right on, Susan. Unfortunately, I think corporate media does filter a lot of the news we get, suppresses what would adversely affect economics in certain areas.........but I applaud the true journalists who do the best they can, within corporate restraints, to bring us the best of what they can. I am very thankful for those brave enough to speak out, like the young man you mention here. I listen to some of the people toadying to him, as if they are afraid of him, and go overboard with the praise in order to curry favour.
