Breathless

TV people, pretending gravitas with today's must know stories

Breathlessly reading their auto cues

Story gone tomorrow, but oh so important today

Have you heard, didn't you know?

Who cares?

An overload of spin and deceit

Dis-empowering because none of us can know which is which
.
Few of us can do anything with this information except to wonder why
.
Why so much pain and unpleasant behaviour?
.
Do humans really have to behave this way?
.
And then as surely as night follows day
.
More important visual fragments and sound bites.
.
Let them be
.
Life can continue much more agreeably if you cut them out
.
For one month go without
.
Oh and don't worry if the world really has come to an end someone will tell you.
