WHO FEEDS THE BEAST?
The streets are cold
Colder than when they're empty
And the things we're told
As children aren't helping any
Used to know
That I could be anything I wanted to
I was a fool.
What were my dearest dreams
Came shat from slick illusions
The reality
In a tailored mass illusion
Reeks of misery
What exactly did they Teach us back in school?
What did they Do?!
Seems the soul is undisturbed
By the memory of what it was
Still our children's eyes remain
Reflecting what's become of us
Just behind the glitz and glamour
Heaves the heart of a twisted nation
Enterprising APATHISTS
On a SOLD OUT trip to obliteration
STOP filling my head with INFORMATION!
Sreets are cold
They've only gotten colder
And how far they go
Before the ride is over's
Not for us to know
Might interrupt production if we knew
Might dull the tool.
The mechanism's unconcerned
With the human waste of what it does
Broken yearning burns a lifetime
Then the beast is done with us
Underneath, the network clamor
Feeds the soul of the corporation
Politicians HIDE their eyes
Down in line buying time at the TV_STATION
(They've got some INFORMATION.)
Step outside the hype and find
A hole concealing what it does
Feeding lies that shut our eyes
To the sickness it instills in us
Beyond a common rumble
Ripen seeds in the soul of a weary nation
Planted by their children's eyes
Growing tall on the promise of liberation!
STOP filling our heads with INFORMATION!
STOP letting them feed us INFORMô_-- TRANSMISSION ENDED --

This was one of the best pieces that I've put on this site. The response was disappointing to say the least.
It's enough to make a man want to keep his mouth shut from now on.
So I think I will.
Thanks for the support, people.
Keep writing..

This is not a bad poem. I will say something tho that i noticed. you have 18 poems posted and only 13 read you should have 54 poems read and that is the main reason people are not reading your poems. They don't know you are here until you show them and you will not get a true response to your poems if you do not read more poetry than you write.
I picked your name at random from the member's listing that is how i found this. It is hard to read poems by every meber on the site but I do try to read some and that is all any one can do. I hope this helps. |
