The Latest Outrage

set your watch by them nowadays

reality was going way to slow

so i loaded up a news page

i don’t want either news or views

i wanted the latest outrage

whose feelings got hurt

by something someone said

who got high on their own supply

and let it go to their head

everything is pretty much the same

it’s just the dates that have changed

as if by magic they get their tragic

spoon fed and pre-arranged

regurgitated bullet points

conveniently on hand when required

reader digestible point form

from the latest liar they hired

they want to impress

but who could care less

it’s any bodies guess

what half truth will be next

    Currently, Taco Bell operates 7,000 outlets throughout several nations. The restaurant's speciality is Tex-Mex cuisine, which combines Mexican and Texas flavours. The tacos are the primary draw. Taco Bell takes pride in serving over two million consumers annually. https://tellthebelllsurvey.com

    Taco Bell is open to hearing direct feedback about the calibre of customer service it provides. Gathering consumer feedback about their experiences is the main goal of Tell the Bell, a survey designed to gauge the level of satisfaction felt by Taco Bell regulars. https://tellthebelllwin.com

    Tell Culvers invites diners who have just enjoyed a satisfying meal at a restaurant to participate in a brief online survey and provide feedback. https://tellculverssurveyz.com/

    Tell the Bell is an evaluation tool that Taco Bell customers use to determine how satisfied they are. Its main goal is to collect customer input on their experiences. https://tellthebell.autos/

    Survey participants offer input to the sponsoring organization. Taco Bell has been emphasizing its consumers' happiness more recently. https://tellthebell500.shop/

    Tellthebell survey is vital because people can go to Taco Bell, eat, and never return, or people can keep coming in but Taco Bell will never know why. To address this, Taco Bell created a totally open customer satisfaction and feedback survey, tellthebell-com, where customers may offer honest comments to Taco Bell management. <a href="https://tellthebelllwin.com/">tellthebelllwin.com</a>

  • Mohammed Darasi12 months ago

    So very true! It's very hard trying to find the truth in these news channels/websites. Almost everything has some sort of bias, it agenda. I guess it's up to us to either get these news ourself (which is unrealistic) or try to find out more and choose what is right (which is unrealistic for different reasons 😅). Great thought-provoking poem

  • Dana Stewart12 months ago

    Nailed it! This one is maybe my favorite of yours! And that’s a hard choice.

  • L.C. Schäfer12 months ago

    The dimensions of my screen mean that I saw this in Top Stories but didn't see whose it was. I knew it was yours. Not because I could smell you getting off the elevator, but because I think I'd know that voice anywhere 😁 Well done on your Top Story 😁
