What is the Point of the News?
November 25, 2017
What is the point of the news?
To fill one’s conception with views.
Whose?
To tender perceptions directions
Overwriting receptive election
So to render, without self-detection,
One’s cognisance
Lissome guidance
Laying charms over thought’s apparatus
And disarming a mind’s conversation
Out of the zone
Indiscernibly prone
Tuning in, we’re wired up to the world
Catching curved balls implicitly hurled
Like a bone
For a dog, captivated, stone sat
Imitating the cat on the mat
The position assumed had off-pat.
Chaperoned
Handsomely, and put safely to bed
Certainty breathes, in runes that they said,
Grateful fasten ones hospital head
To a pillow
And a dream of imprinted belief
Playing scores in a groove – a debrief
Laying grounds bearing all underneath
Half-invented
Represented,
Parliamented
As a scale of successive motifs,
Of expression;
End of lesson
In Pavlovian dog-like condition
One’s rough edges allayed cauterised
Like by plainchant of soft rolling sighs
Education, the light of our eyes,
By the wise supervised, modulating
From above on a great edifice;
Massif God has forbade us to grace -
We ask peace in the word and the truth
Gentle love and abundance of ruth
Though our work meet the end of the line
When The Landlord bestirs to call time
