Subliminal seduction media mogul Admen clad in Bran muffin suits A holiday spirit To sell a line A consumerist line Waiting, buying Whilst stuffing their eyes Snowballs hypocrisy On Madison Avenue In winter Heavy diplomacy Civil suits Libel suits Newspaper print Suited for words Convincing Disgruntled lies Why no lies? "It is written" journalists, prostitutes of Winnie the Pooh peace policy Constructive engagement Ideological estrangment Dramas of the US of A Over and over A broadcast to haunt you Entree vous? Exit No exit. Jean Paul Sartre, Did you know he knew There was no exit. There were sideways effects Second wave swollen attacks, Cauliflower's and tootsie roll brownies Sea urchins rotting. They are dramatists They are liturgists Saddening news value Murderous every hour Fire and words Are only words of uncommon denominators Because the rich Are the constituents of the law and order Barbarism is not Barbara Ann-ism. Antagonism my prison ISM. Not an ism, beyond all isms There, no media exists. I, the voice, I, the communicative monster raw lions and tigers wild-- Animals attack the clawed out page whilst the boob tube rages As the fittest survive and the shysters lie and the hipsters cry as they swing into a heist, Christ they're getting fame and who's to blame? | ||||
