You dazzle me

With gifts

Meant to wow

You dictate every word

I am to think and print

But your flimsy attempts

Just make me sad

Then your nature

Gets the best of you

And you erupt

In anger

Condemning me with

Broad strokes of your brush

Fake news you shout

As the truth is printed

Painting your true intentions

But when you fail

The first person you call

Is me

Pleading your case

Painting your world

Erupting when I do my job

And tell the world

The complete story

You yell ‘Fake news!!’

Yet again

The emperor has no clothes

Ps there is fake news that does not come from news sources but when you hear it over and over again question the source and why they claim fake news.
