MEDIA

she has claws in her allure
recounting wars of the obscure
your every fear she assures
her every attempt is impure

lies like nursery rhymes
a chameleon of the times
she lingers in her crimes
her illusions are sublime

prompts for the screen
to diminish every dream
her reporters dress the scheme
spreading fear by any means

olive branch in hand
she holds Rome like Caesar
the ever elusive creature
exhaling lies like ether

because man can not fathom
the power of the atom
as she walks the winds of soot
trampling countries underfoot
