Mass Communications

after learning
the english language
and having mastered
it so well

now you are on your
own
as a reporter

you have to learn
the language of the
masses again

you an alien
of the masses
must take back
that lost
appeal

i want to make this sound
like a poem
for you
but i know it won't

are you gonna
be poetic when doing
a reporting job?

about the mass killing
in ampatuan?

gee, i guess not
sorry.
