Poem Artwork

Turn on the TV, flip open the
paper, even surf the 'Net ----
celebrity worship.  Seems
we are worshipping the
wrong kind of stars, are way
too curious in what they're
doing, who they're with, 
where they're hanging out,
how much they're worth, how
much they've spent ----
!!  inquiring minds have to
know  !!  Can't believe the
press being given to spoiled
20-something-year-olds
when our 20-somethings
are dying for our freedom ----
twelve more, this week alone:
lest you forget.

(c) 2010, Karla Dorman (7/22)

Karla, my personal interest in movie stars and sports personalities, singers, musicians, is almost nil. I believe that there is no news when that is all we are shown. Your priority is right on my dear friend. Peace,love and great joy to you. Jon Michael

Rather amazing and surprising. The other night, when Jay Lenno announced that Lindsay Lohan was in jail, the audience went wild with clapping and cheering. Which, for me at least, went to show that the majority of Americans are not really all that enamored with celebrities and that, possibly, many of us still adhere to American beliefs.

This is the system of New Babylon. Mindless distraction, worship of bobble-heads, misdirection. Just another facet of the Matrix. This leads to de-moralization and lack of critical thinking. A sure recipe to losing the Republic. Great work.

Powerful reminder; we need to be thanking our men and women in uniform who are dying and yet nobody gives a flyin' fug! So sad; may God be with these soldiers' families and friends!!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :( *tears!*

Very nicely done, Karla & I have to agree, the press is always focusing on the people like this Lohan girl when they should be showing the losses of our boys who gave their lives for the defense of democracy...e
