THE RIVER

Like honeybees collect
honey from flowers,
like money-bees collect
money from door to door
media
be it visual, print
or radio
gather fresh, hot
cakes of news
from different sources
some sweeter, some bitter
some shocking and mind boggling
tear-jerkers umpteen
present before the citizens
on a platter
to taste, chew, eat and swallow
each day
wonder
how come fresh news
emanate each day
how come citizens
respond each day
as one great philosopher
said once : we can’t take
bath in the same waters
twice.
