Description: I'm just really sick of being lied to!!!!
Media -------------------------------------------
Dismissal for your common sense it seems
Have you no mind for sensibilities?
I hear you speak but no wise words were heard
So can you tell us all with clarity
Why we cannot understand your views
Instead, may it be a kind of hilarity?
Or are you out but to confuse?
Have you belief in what your mouth drains?
Corrupting each syllable with contemptuous growls
Befitting naught but a creature not known for its worth
Listening with glee, you may find of the young
How can you fill up their minds with your laws?
Take their righteousness and say they are wrong
Try to turn all eyes from their true cause
Parody beneath an honest face I see
Pedalling perversions of the dreams
Of all those naive enough to lose their minds
Is there hope from your mouth that a secret we’ll see
See just what you really mean
Or would that too be just a lie
To create us another self made dream
I like this piece, mostly for the truth it tells, it makes people think, and thats always a good thing. The thing I hate most is that now non-conformity is a form of conformity, you know? So everyone lies even the ones that are suppose to be "different" whatever that means. And since deception is at the silver lining of every thought (I like that line, may soon appear in a poem) its all the more important what we choose to believe. Great Piece, kinda reminiscent of old-time poetry when people wrote about important stuff (or relevent social pieces, u know?)
Hm..Media? Like the people controlling our lives, telling us whats "fashionable", or "What is pretty"..or what is "right and wrong"? Yeah, they lie..And they mostly attack the young, because they are vunderable, and willing and wanting to believe it all..Just to fit in..Everyone lies..its just a matter of how far you take it..
No matter how much I say, "I'm an individual, I don't care what other people do or say!"..I really do care..I really do want to be noticed..Media controls all, lies or not, control is power...
Anyways, great piece, I really liked it..Makes me think..what this world has come to. Nice job!!
