The Foolish King - NaPoWriMo Day 6

Writing a limerick again. It is self exploratory. 

... 
The foolish king enjoyed absolute sovereignty, 
He ruled over his foolish subjects by decree. 
When there was a famine. 
He built a shrine to please the divine. 
No one survived to obey the decree.

Fake News, NaPoWriMo, Day 1

30 days. 30 poems is the target. This poem is inspired by the lowering standard of media and Donald Trump. :D
... 


Fake news 

What a welcome change,
This information age 
Ignorance will vaporize 
Awareness will rise. 
Guess what? 
Fake news. 

Those who hold the pen, 
Won't set narrative as back then.
Truth will be one and nude, 
No voices will be subdued. 
Guess what? 
Fake news. 

With advanced satellite, 
Everything will be reported live. 
No information will be concealed, 
All conspiracies will be revealed. 
Guess what? 
Fake news. 

In reality, we are less informed than before, 
Troubled sea is portrayed as a calm shore. 
Money controls everything, 
Ethics worth a shilling.
All the promises of free and fair information, 
Fake news.
