Breaking news flashes
across the screen

turmoil in the streets
raging as the ground shakes

illicit transactions
underhanded negotiations

corrupted elections
clinging to that last second

hundreds of thousands
homeless in despair
cleaning the flood
that has become their life

the bright lights
are long out

and all that is left
is to pick up the pieces

I don't think I'd categorize this as "prose", more like "human nature" poetry. It's different. I think you should work on a style, friend.

My mother said to me, "If you become a soldier, you'll be a general; if you become a monk, you'll end up as the Pope." Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso.
