Not a Day to be a Journalist – Written Sunday 1st September 1997 (Aged 22)

Not a Day to be a Journalist

not a day to be a journalist
not a day to be a conversationalist
only one type of conversation,
being spoken today
not a day to be a journalist
not a day for that profession
i have to say,
that the people wanted the pictures
they wanted the information
and now, when it has all gone wrong
then, then they complain
they say that’s not playing the game
not a day to be a journalist
not day to forget,
you will always remember and know –
where you were on this day –
in the future, many years from now
some will say it was not a day to be a journalist

James Garratt – Sunday 1st September 1997
