WARNING: This is a rant and some strong language is used. The media? hmmm...no love lost here


Pull the Plug

I'm f***ing sick of it!
Seems there's no escape
Everywhere I am, there
you are-The hotel, the airport,
the car, in my home

You stalk me-Every turn you're
in my face-Rumsfeld this,
Bush that, a quick timeout
to let us know that tuition is
the least of our problems, the
Amish aren't bulletproof, and
the misdirection of canidate
qualifications is fair game

Kim, Osama, Hussein, Rice, UN
Shut the f*** up-I walk around
with headphones these days
I can still see your faces; Smiling
as you pimp fear

One day you're gonna f*** up
One day you will grow a conscience
and speak out....about your
puppeteers-I will admire your courage,
but don't seek your shelter through
me brother

You see friend, you've imposed
far too long....and the
damage you have caused
is irreversible

A well-stated rant it is--with worthwhile merit, too! I don't watch the news on t.v., I don't read it in the newspapers, I don't listen to it on radio. The sensationalism would be an unwanted exploitation and affront to my mental faculties. I only watch the weather channel, and pray that the world will survive the turmoil of chaos that is blasted through the media.

Just a quick thought: Wouldn't it be wonderful if every newscast ended with some magnificent deed of decency and goodwill done to or for someone by someone else?

when they speak out it will not be due to conscience nor will it entail courage, it will be out of necessity ...

i like your verve and the direction you took this poem ......

Your AD link wasn't highlited on my AD e-mail so I needed to go the hard way to read this one. Some glitch!!!

Put one more on the bill, 400 billions granted to the Drug and Pharmaceutical Consortiums to make yet more expensive the medicines that the poor American people can't afford.
Yes, I wish they can shut up and stay so, for a long long time.

SPOT ON EXCELLENCE, HB!!!!!!! The media: they love to create fear and chaos. Perfect example of that today, with the severe weather in the area: and then, they have the NERVE to stick microphones and cameras in the faces of those who suffered damage, "How did you feel when you saw your house coming apart?" How the F**K you SUPPOSED to feel?????????? Jays. Right on, right on, WRITE ON!!!!!!!!!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
