"Good morning America!"
Have you shot up today?
Heroine for the masses
laces my nostrils with
steamy propaganda
flying over the air-waves.
You got me Big Brother!
Unlike the b U d d ha
we sleep with our
"i's open
central focus:
o b l i v i o n!
mesmerize them with
glamour
stultified
we founder in
a torpidity of unconscious
numbing,
drumming into our
olfactory senses.

"fuck a dollar, fuck a dream"
the palaber of the
abracadabra

instant fix
toxins
we're ingesting daily
into our aching bellies;
with Machiavellian deployment
we find ourselves
bombarded, lombasted
outwitted
dumbfounded
steroidally fixated
on bigger is better,
some trompe l'eoil
we try to do, to believe
the right thing
some unseen
catatonic goop
implodes
(false-pride)
playing on our contrived
sympathies...warning us:
let's
remember their big "red apple" appeals:
the elderly, the lonely
the young, the scared,
the disabled, the pregnant,
the blacks, the jews, the
hindus, the israelis
the unemployed, the fatted-cow
right-winged
left-assed mentalities
neo-communist facists
BIG BROTHER main-sailing
an already sinking ship of
worn out toddlers

Beneath the wirey beards
of mechanized hooplah
one Phallic figure
waves a frothy finger
into the genitals of a
world mummified
stupified, horrified
by an unseen, too often heard
Voice...nursing us
suckling us at the Mother's tit
her breasts raw and sore from
pulling out, going in, rocking back
and forth...we the deprived children
suckling upon the glory train to freedom.
We the waiting

spoon-fed narcotics,

sex, drugs and rock'nroll) our
precious feedinghours
corrupting us

Body of Inhumanity
How deep the River bleeds her young!
But the Mantle of Liberty
passes me her cloak and asks:
{Will you stand up for your rights?}
or will you continue following the leader
into the daily deluge of dopamine
popped down our throats...
bleating like sheep:
lobbyists,commiteeists,soldarityists
Media-paparazzioists

Have some smileys!

Wow, that's fantastic poetry. Reminds me of the A bit of Fry & Laurie sketch...
Seems you're a see-er and a feeler, -in a more valid artform
you might even be talented...
You've got me in the mood for some Bob Dylan... -
dddaaaaaaammmmmnnnnnn

I assume this is dirty-pretty? I don't know just assuming, never mind me. lol
"Beneath the wirey beards

I enjoyed these lines the most, a fact I can see in my country as well. Thanks for entering and good luck.
Love
~Noor -
I think you have tackled every issue worldwide and this really sniffs of gold to me! You have said it all with passion and sadness.
Best wishes with this

Whoa! This is some very powerful language and metaphor here. I don't know where to begin but it is all very impressive imagery; and I couldn't agree with you more~ You pretty much tackle about every faucet of corruption in the good ole American dream. Loved the satire too; with "Good Morning America"
My wish is for your song to get published and sung loudly to the world until it sinks into everyone's thick skulls what is happening to us and being done to our world. I can even see a music video coming out of it.We need to open our eyes and see the truth. It may be too late, but we must still keep trying....
Thank you! -
It was a little difficult for me to follow (the rapidity of the pace and the structure itself was slightly confusing to me), but I very much like the rhythm of your words.
Thank you.

This had good wordage and was well written but it isn't waht I was looking for even though it could be tweaked to fit the theme of this contest. Thank you for sharing
-
Rich, complex, vivid images
a feast for the senses and mind and soul dear poet. Thanks for entering a very intense and thought-provoking write! -
Yikes!
A very clear expression of your opinion...showcased your passion and your extensive vocabulary. I enjoyed the many metaphorical images. I agreed with some of the main points. It got a bit long, but my rants are the same way. Thank you for entering.
