Beatnik Poetry with Ted Leonsis

 

Adapted from Ted’s latest critique of the media, I present to you, poetry with Ted Leonsis:

Let This Be A Lesson of Some Sort, by Ted Leonsis

Yikes.

Monster feeding costs

shareholder value.

A huge mega-merger is off. Lives are affected.

People lose

their jobs and reputations are tarnished.

All so a headline could be written.

A phone was hacked into. A blogger or writer

got to say he was “right”;

the law of unintended consequences is now rife.

What is next? Read this one.

Slippery slope

indeed.
