The Message (we're in deepshit dipshit)

Just read it

Used to be ignorance was bliss

Well now it's dangerous

Idiots can get TV shows 

and spew without basis 

Pundits get their own "news' shows

Real facts though they may lack 

Writing books that sell numbers 

So now their bullshit's fact 

Spinning lies like no tomorrow 

When fiction becomes fact 

Discrediting intelligence 

When science gets attacked

The book of Genesis is real 

and global warming's fake

simple answers simple people 

with way to much at stake 

We're heading for catastrophe 

Biblical proportions 

with seven billion souls on earth 

and an ever warming ocean 

We suck this rock for everything

and think it's all okay 

We f**k tomorrow's children

and rape them for today 

Yeah everyone is in on this 

because we don't do s**t 

Just f**k and suck and populate 

So our children deal with it 

You think this is f*****g funny

I hope I'm dead by then 

No liberal conspiracy

No hope at childhood's end 

The war on the environment 

is a war on intellect 

Our heads are so far up our a*s

what did you expect 

Author's Note

After years of research into global warming predicting weather extremes just like the arctic weather pattern moving over north America while the frozen tundra thaws FOX news pundits are stating because it's been so cold global warming is a hoax. Really?These are the same assholes who blamed the Iraqis for all the violence when the occupation went wrong and claim Obama is everything from a terrorist to a socialist to a communist. Personally I find Obama to be a disappointment on several points but he's far from a socialist. As long as we keep mistaking opinion and entertainment for facts were going to keep being duped by these people so wake the fuck up America and smell the planet warming up

Nicely written poem, full of facts, witty and well done!

[Sue Hart]

The news networks are w****s selling their wares. What do you expect? CEO's say do this and what? You expect a different reaction? Global warming? How about the scientific facts that other planets are also warming up? I found that on a Science Network and NASA also agreed.
Fact or fiction? Check the ocean temps, the summer heat, the winter snows, and it is definitely going through a change. But...we have had an ice age before along with the hot summers where nothing much grew. England grew potatoes to survive. My Point? Why can't there be more research beforehand as well as preparation? Why stick your head in the sand and refuse to believe we're in trouble and it won't go away anytime soon.

And you can tell, I am passionate about this. Sorry, I did love your poem as well as what you had to say. The reviews here are obviously with you too. :O

Thank you Sir

[Jack...]

BR, no one tells it like it is like you do. I think you should have your own show so that the masses can here the truth.

[Baby Ricochet]

I'd have to lay off the swearing

[Jack...]

Nah, they could just bleep out every other word.

[Rita L. Sev]

I swear that you are a fly on the wall in my house, Mark. This is a great rhyming, flowing bit of harsh reality.

[Baby Ricochet]

I'm afraid it is. Thank you rita

[Corset]

bravo! it's not a laughing matter is it? The children will pay for the sins of the parents every single time, and it is a sin what we do to our mother Earth, but as long as there are "baby R's" in the world there is a hope that someone will finally hear you.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you corset

Politics are full of manipulative lies that shred the public to bits, and is just notorious for being untrustworthy in general. Fox news takes it to an entirely different level. There's a particular sect of the Abrahamic religions wholly dedicated to slowly taking over the US government in politics and turning it into a Christian nation, and I'm aware that it's conspiracy at best, but I do believe people like that exist and are trying to put them in action. Conservatives such as Ray Comfort, a figure that's actually speaking blasphemy, is one such person trying to "educate" the public with misinformation.
Conspiracies are fun, to be entirely honest. If it weren't so damned serious, I'd chuckle a bit louder.

[Baby Ricochet]

Americans love conspiracy theories. That's for sure.

[Vidya Bacchus]

People will believe anything that they see on the TV sometimes.

[Baby Ricochet]

That's for sure.

Pundits get their own "news' shows
Real facts though they may lack
Writing books that sell numbers
So now their bullshit's fact

Tell people what they want to hear and they will gobble it up; that is for sure.

[Baby Ricochet]

For sure. Thank you Pryde.

[Gleb Zavlanov]

I agree with Mark--It's not only Fox who is corrupt but almost every other news source. I do get irate at times for these absurd tales and lies, and I think you've summed it up quite well.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Gleb
