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

your every fear she assures
her every attempt is impure
olive branch in hand
she holds Rome like Caesar


Dang.....this made me think of the Harlot that rides the Beast! Yes the media is evil, and will seduce any and all into believing their propaganda.

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

She's a world of her own
A place I know very well

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

A most pounding answer to the intollerance of minds incapable of thinking outside the box, well done my friend, you always shine light on the shadow!!

[John Jackson (El Juero)]

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but is this about Bachman, or Palin?

[Joshua]

Incredible poem.

Human beings can be so ignorant of their own power sometimes, so much so that they kill countless innocents for some cause that they believe to be righteous and worth all of those deaths.
