Favorite Quote:
"Oh sacred heart of Jesus, I have full trust in thee." - my grandmother told me that.


As I sat on the couch
And watched TV
I couldn’t help to grouch
To what I see


All the news channels
Always seem grim
No matter the angle
The good news is slim


They tell many stories
In a variety of ways
And each category
A story to talk about for days


Doesn’t anyone realize
Why they are drawn
We are listening to lies
That’s what’s going on


Most stories are not true
They’re just parts of a whole
By adjusting the view
Confusion starts to role


What story they can find
They can turn it sour
They control people’s minds
With their abusive power


They made heroes look evil
And criminals look clean
And people who are peaceful
Look like they’re cruel and mean


With their dirty tricks
They spread their stories wide
Then with politics
They only support one side


With their many bluffs
They spread dishonest words
I just had enough
Of all the news I heard


Quit telling lies
Stop changing the verse
Don’t they realize
They turn things bad to worse


All the stories they planned
Talking in their booth
What they need to understand
They must tell the truth


Tell us the whole story
With no misleads
Don’t use any theories
Planting bad seeds


There’s more good out there
Focus on them instead
Shine on those who care
And let it be spread


Whenever they’re on TV
Trying to amuse
Between you and me
No news is good news
