Remote

 

 

The wheel of fortune slowly spins out of sight,
and finally Vanna White

extends middle finger in unspoken delight.

A "Fuck You"

to mainstream media pouring out

propaganda through subliminal saturation.

 

Those scenes of serpentine

psycho babble rabbles

mystically portray Babylon

in on itself,

eversed with a stealthily spoken wealth.

Hidden vision to protect my mental health.

 

The toxins fill the airwaves gutting the lungs
of our little hypnotized children.

Replacing achievement for...lotto dreams. 

Propaganda society projects
skinny equals perfect ugly equals out.

They tell you things
that make you question your religion
give up your self-integrity,
point out your flaws for the world
to see.

 

The flaws that make you YOU

 and make me…. Me..
My generation never learned

to be ready to defend heretical beliefs
from the steady flow of pride

thieving simpletons.

 

Will happiness come

when the powers at be staple barcodes

of their reality upon each man, woman and child,

erasing all beauty
of imperfections humanity.

 

Perfect is sworn nemesis of good.
Evolution is a paradoxical timeline

that defies defined time and space.

I tend to like watching
over-believers preach
I’m damned in this world

unless

I repent; save my soul?

My soul died
when they traded away my freedom!

 

Barter "free will" away

when nothing is gained in the trade.

It's a twisting eternally shifting maze

zig zagging around the traps that they laid.

 

Catching thoughts crashing dreams,
nothing can break the unseen.
The darkness crawls

clawing fog during the dark night.
Morning sucks out

the life of bright.

 

The light of despair

burnt bright,
yet I reached inside

 to peel back the layers.
............

Media, teenagers, reveling in this dark,
these 'dark ones' all scoffing

at your prayers
to redeem what you've lost,
forfeited at your cost.


Even though they provoked you
they too have evoked you
your spirit of self
that they just wish to sap.


Taking and taking
til you want to snap

Next up is laziness,

won't even dig an inch?


End up 6 feet below where you started
and we're in a pinch,
seems our collective soul

departed


ears2hearyou right now

Adding your reply:

Bottom of Form.

 

And Vanna White

appears each night,

spinning the wheel in glory and appeal.

Silent and glittering bright

extending her middle finger

quietly behind back.

 

Some of us..understand,

And others

simply too saturated

to give a damn. 

Now where the hell 

did I put that remote.

    Couldn't finish, sorry to be so blunt, but I guess it's better than lying, or worse, waisting your featuring points on just a click of the mouse...

    Over all I like it. It is a bit long, but worth the read I suppose. Good messages and in a good flow. I really have to agree with lianonsidhe on everything.
    Nice write.

    Wow! Powerful write. Loved the lines:
    'simply too saturated

    to give a damn.

    Now where the hell

    did I put that remote.'
    I've definately had those moments when everything pushes in on me and I'm just too tired to do anything but try to blot it out for a moments rest.
    I also loved:
    'Replacing achievement for...lotto dreams.

    Propaganda society projects
    skinny equals perfect ugly equals out.'
    An excellent wording of some ills in society. If only we were less shallow.
    Thank you for sharing this, it really made me think. Great write.
