I do not like the TV news, don’t care for false neutrality

The anchors lead with that which bleeds, invest in triviality

Newspapers speak in measured tones, reducing to banality

While the internet, as bought and sold, is ruled by partiality

 

I prefer a more uncertain form, a freedom of expression

Woodstock without the pouring rain, a live nation federation

Of all manner of poets, artists, ideas - a rich conglomeration

A place to practice and to fail; to soar with wit, imagination
