Down

Let the ghastly coverage begin
On Fox and Friends and CNN
Show little purses 'midst the fires,
And guidebooks ripped and pacifiers.
Show backpacks strewn amidst the clutter
And ipads melting while flames sputter.
Leave nothing that might be said unsaid,
Ye media ghouls who love the dead.
Two days in, the politics bore us--
You have no option but to whore us.
And after all we can't just blame it
All on you: it's entertainment.
No scene's too grisly or too gory
When e'er it works to sell the story.
