The Most Brilliant Journalist In America

________________________________________________________________________________________________

For X-number of days
on the campus of UCLA,
journalists camped out
while anti-Israel protestors
protested peacefully

Witnessing this gathering
—day after day—
had to become as exciting
as watching wallpaper dry

BUT
the most brilliant journalist
knew there were counter-protestors
of the pro-Israeli variety
AND
 the most brilliant journalist
fed this group
the highest grade of Hashish
+
the most vitriolic of venomous statements
made by the anti-Israel protestors
—despite only the hashish actually existing—
could create immortal 
photo/video moments
 
THEN
as  a result of having
this brilliant journalist's
camera crew on the ready
for the exact moment
of concussive violence
***
***
RESULTING IN
this brilliant journalist 
getting the first images 
of the violence
AND 
the very first 
video report
of same
 
This has earth-shattering
consequences
beyond college campuses
for
the most brilliant journalist
who insists on having
his/her name
linked to
the hot scoop
repeatedly
throughout America
and the world 
***
 
THUS
is created
a 21st Century

    1. Oliverio agrees with you completely but no one was firebombed or arrested during the making of this page
