Liable Android

This poem is about how we are manipulated by the media.

Am I just an android
Programmed by the media
My bible is the tabloids
I rely on what they feed ya

Not liable for my thoughts I thought
As I’m told just what to do
But in the middle, I’m caught quite short
Because what I’m taught might not be true

Tell you this, they tell you that
They tell you contradictions
So when the s**t hits the fan
Its by your own convictions

The choice is yours, its your perspective
Though what your shown is shown through theirs
They show you wars, that they’ve elected
So all you know is what they care to share

They make it look like it’s the truth
But their message is subliminal
We take their lies and doctored proof
So our presumptions make us criminal

You try to read between the lines
But that’s where their intentions lay
So try to recognise these signs
Before your morals are led astray.
