Yesterdays News

A low incoherent wail,
hides behind
a deceptive veil.

Soon the truth
will prevail …
When the curtain,
gets ripped at the seams.

The truth
Will be laid bare,
Everyone,
Will talk and stare.

The best you can do …
Is not care,
because you’ll soon
be yesterdays news…

    Wow this is awesome. seems to explain life pretty well lol, but yeah, I really like the last verse. One question though, did you mean to have a space in between do and ...? the same with prevail. I just noticed you had a space on thos two and not on news so I was just wondering if you did that on purpose or not. Other than that I can't find anything else. good job.

    So true... the best you can do is not to care... to heck with the rest of the people! The hype fades all too soon to actually be a matter of worry.

    You know, there's a song in spanish with a similar title, ''Periodico de Ayer'' (Yesterday's Newspaper). But the singer talks about a woman.

    Neat title. Maybe stair/stare? Good advice! I'd like to hear this sung, it lends itself to a lyrical platform.
