Parasites
The paparazzi and the press are parasites
When the camera's focus and the bulbs flash,
Nothing stands in there way,
Like hounds they know how to persecute and go hunting in packs!
They're ruined many a reputation with false information,
What we read and see is all an illusion,
It's all out of proportion,
They know how bad news and sordidness sells,
They know how to thrive of others and distort the truth.
There making a living out of shock tactics and the misfortune of the many,
There experts at mis-interpretation and exaggeration,
When chasing a story those freelancers are ruthless,
When it comes to getting gossip and all the gory details,
Those freelancers know how to create sensational headlines,
And where to get the most revealing pictures.
The journalists push and shove for a better position,
And go to any lengths for an exclusive,
The red tops and the broadsheets only publish what's convenient for us to know,
the papers can persuade public opinion.

Hi Frantic Person,
That is so true! It's pretty sad, that, first of all, people have the need to hound others every second, and the readers can't get enough of it(don't they have their own lives??!!), and secondly, that these famous people can't go anywhere without being chased(I'm sure it's ruined many a Hollywood marriage, etc., and killed people, like Diana), and that some magazines can even print things that aren't even close to true!(like the National Enquirer). But, I guess money, and notoriety are more important than people's lives...LOL.
Great write, my friend. Made me think...ouch! brain injury! Kidding.
But great job,
Matthew.
That's good thankyou
I'm glad you appreciated the point I was making
haven't seen anything new from you..
Have you posted recently!
I've posted a few. You may have started to read them and then nodded off, or passed out from boredom, and then forgotten to go back. LOL.
I've got a new one I'm working on now, I might post later. If you read it, pretend you like it. I've only got 1 fan now, because my others(besides my devoted one), have not been on much. It's a sad state of affairs. lol. But, I don't care, as long as one person likes it.
Have a great day, my friend!
Matthew.
Hey FREE VERSER!!......you've definitely put an anxiousness and worried kind of phrasing into the heart of this...... It's VERY effectively delivered here and brings this UNBELIEVABLY controversial subject matter center stage...... which has been over the past several years and certainly needs to continue being splattered across TV and Newspapers until some governing body actually gets off of their butts and does something about it..... trouble is it keeps getting 'tripped up' by that "Freedom Of The Press" deal..... we ALL know it's a problem..... and it's lovely souls (such as yourself) that will eventually and finally conquer the issue!!.......ALL STARS!! & PINNED!!..... great stuff dear poet sister!!,,,,,,T xo ?❤
Thanks Tony.
As for modern journalism,
It is not my business to defend it.
It justifies it's own existence by the great Darwinian principle of the survival of the vulgarest.

I instantly thought of Princess Diana, so sad, at the end of the day we can only blame economics, the system that we are apart of, work = money.
I like to watch Russia Today, is very informative but that's just me.
Great piece.
Thanks Gerard
I think the paparazzi/press are responsible for more deaths than we know about!
