The Media

 
What is seen on the screen can ruin a life,
Ruin a marriage because some man slept with a married man's wife,
The fads, the lies, and even the facts make for a good story,
While one person tries to cover up his or her mistake with a meaningless sorry,
Oh the critics will never let the story rest,
The one that gets the most attention is the story that's covered the best,
Sometimes they're not hard to believe but the subjects are the one who are the most affected,
Once any details are released to the media no one feels protected,
As an aspiring journalist I hope to travel the world to write my own stories via Expedia,
You will find the good, the bad and the ugly through this constantly evolving outlet called the media.
