LIP SERVICE

by Andrew Hilbert


Today
the biased,
celebrity media
hounds
bow to Cronkite
as he goes down.

Still,
there is news
about the state of things
between Brangelina,

And
there is news
about Janet Jackson
dumping her boyfriend
nobody knew she had.

To the most trusted man in America,
that's the way it is.


Andrew Hilbert has a degree in History at Cal State Long Beach and lives in Orange County, California.
