Story Poem, Nr.16 — Tales
And
dead men
tell no tales…
This is not true.
Returning as ghosts
they front the T.V News
telling a m a z i n g stories
which strangely people still believe
despite the much evidence
they are tales written by
the puppet-masters
who control them
from beyond
the grave-
yard.

Some channels you can trust - others are a 24/7 creature feature marathon.

That's true - the dead are elevated as icons to continue to wield their shaping of the collective mind-set.

Yep, and probably far more influence from the spirit-world than we generally give credit for.

Talking heads? Magicians? Masters of illusions?
Loved the shape of it too. Good luck in the comp!

Thank you Wally - as a random thought I've just started reading Yogananda's "Autobiography of a Yogi" and learned that the word 'gu-ru' means "dispeller of darkness" (gu=darkness; ru=that which dispels) the context of which is that darkness comes from (the) delusion, or the illusion that things appear to be something, which they are not.

Dear J,
Excellent! This might be literal but all I saw reading this were the news casters blathering on and on about, I don’t even know what anymore. Very clever write!

Thank you H - I think the "blathering on" is part of the game of throwing sand in people eyes so people get befuddled and can't think straight any more - a spreading of confusion which makes the 'strong leader' have more (voter)-appeal by promising to sort out the mess / clean out the swamp - whatever.

I like the simplicity and the form, it makes a statement about the warped perspective of the now, even the shape of the lines create the feeling.

Hi Frustrated_prole. Thank you for visiting and commenting - and for the RL too. I reckon things are going to get even more warped as times goes on. The momentum of predatory capitalism combined with a money-as-debt+interest enslaving system is like an unstoppable train. I've no idea what will happen when it hits the buffers.
And welcome to DUP by the way; best regards, Josh.
