Narratives as woven motives,
Involve outsiders and natives
A slice of war and life
Skillfully crafted superlatives
It’s a charade of choices,
Opinions and popular voices
It could be a pacing story,
Of rabbits and tortoises
The sources are tentative
May compromise on perspective
The nasty play with Truth,
Might be biased and derivative
Freedom of expression, it is,
Integrity might give it a miss
An epic moana of words
May adhere like a lasting kiss
The onus lies on the reader
To know who is the real cougar
What exactly is being served?
And if it needs a hardline disclaimer!
