By All Means

A grotesque deluge of filtered information
pouring out of that intricate little device.
tightly hiding in the depth of my pocket
A cascade of news with total affirmation
the right to impose their will without thinking twice
spewing with no consequence and total neglect

Immoral and patently absurd rumors
deviously controlling the mind with extreme denial
the confidence level is high, the rational is down
biased headlines with chauvinistic humor
the facts are ironically checked and Life is on trial
the language is malicious but we are sticking around

That thing called media and its holly Kool Aid
A crew of talking heads giving fairness the finger
unrealistically expecting us to commit
assuming it’s human nature to be afraid
and that sentiment will make us linger
Or perhaps the show will make us want more

An oppressive system ran by conglomerates
keeping us ignorant feeding us lousy spectacles
A parade of abject obsessive folks
broadcasting deceptive bits and pieces
shamelessly multiplying our fear
and shadily dividing our honest views

At what point do we say enough
when will we acknowledge the precariousness
of this grim picture proposed by the data rulers
Do we fight, picket, yell and scream
Is anyone listening or did they tune out
By all means, let’s give them everything we have
