“Shaken, not stirred.” Goldfinger (1964)
Cable news is like a bar,
it serves the shake up,
stirs up controversy,
and pours out head lines
like a happy hour drunk fest.
It’s a martini made of
lemons, vinegar, and bullshit.
They’re a table full of talking heads
speculating on could be, while
writing a new list of what “if’s
in case the first fails the second.
I don’t care about the itinerary
of a criminal when kids are
taking to the streets to protest
another day of bullets bringing
death to their schools.
