ON THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD
living on the far side of the world i look out see the familiar landscape
the mountains stand the sky big an abstraction in all directions
the land is as it always has been the river runs full at this time of year
some of my neighbors descendants of dinosaurs have returned
i scan the horizon there is new green on the mountains the time of year is spring
the sun moves through the sky still morning time is readable
all the latest from washington it is hard to get the news from here
i click on the radio still hard to get the news i am left wondering
what’s happening today fake news is one thing real news is another

So true, its really difficult to distinguish between whats fake and real in the news these days.
Perhaps the far side of the world is best, far removed from the chaos that exists. We are all searching for trustworthy news!
Yes. Real news is what matters: the land, the rivers, even the neighbors. Now that is real news!
'fake news is one thing real news is another'
This made me smile although I guess it is not funny if you feel left out of the loop. I do so agree with indybev's comment and echo it.

Have to listen carefully to what is fake against what's real ~ Hard to differentiate nowadays ~
The news is so laughable it makes me want to weep.
Oh yes, so difficult to figure out what's true and what's fake in the news these days. Sometimes I wonder if we should follow the news at all, or keep our sanity.
I think I'd like to spend some time on the far side of the world, and occasionally see the landscape as abstraction, a source for renewal of the soul and creativity.
The less news you hear the luckier you are, my friend. I love the peace and timelessness of the desert, the everness of the mountains. Good to hold onto, as the politics goes up and down and swarms around like angry bees.
there is a peaceful beauty here....let the news rest for sometime..!
