Tribute to The Mad Prophet

A tribute to the movie Network. This poem is made a bit more of a reply to a couple of 'The Mad Prophet of the Airwaves' speeches. It's been about 33 years since that movie was out. I love that movie. It's my favorite of all time.

We have ignored the truth!

We have ignored the clues!

We didn't listen from last time!

We didn't figure it out!

WE'RE IN A LOT OF TROUBLE!

 

So it has come to this

An empty shell of what was

Once defined as 'humanity'

 

The predictions came true!

We were apathetic

And we all knew!

And no one figured how to stop it

 

Because we were entertained

While we ignored the pain

Of the heart deteriorate

It has been well decayed

 

Right now everyone had

Gone through the process

You all seem so glad

I can't take more of this

 

So you listen to me

LISTEN TO ME!

There's nothing we can do!

Because it was enevitable

Each and every single one of you

Are all credible

 

But man, I don't know about you

I can't stomach it

I don't know what to do

I don't want to be a part of this

 

Yet here I stand amoung an end

Result of what has been planned

A dehumanized world

Where all were lowered

 

So go about your chaos and

The corruption

That we can no longer feel

And bring the destruction
