THE MONOSYLLABIC CELEBRITY

I'm not an idi-ot. That's like, so, like, mean, like, like, like. Like. I'm not stu-pid, like, like, not at all!

 

 

When did it become cool to be a monosyllabic imbecile? 
A fool of ill-gotten fortune destroying what faith took to build. 
One of the endless number of morons we say look good without a shirt.
The boneheaded little harlot that is bootylicious in a skirt! 

It's obvious we have it wrong, but few of us really care. 
We just want that pretty thing with the 1000 mile blank stare. 
We long for that imbecilic dotard that forgets sometimes to breathe. 
As long as they satisfy our fantasies and feed our primal needs. 
Those who crave and seek these people only have themselves to blame. 
I think when these idiots do something stupid they should also share the shame! 

We encourage a vogue society, inspired only by what we see. 
Living only for carnal greed and convincing ourselves that it's free.
When did we lose our way?  When did our hope and decency die? 
When did we substitute real communication for ignorant belching cries? 
Our music isn't music; our films are just pounds of mindless flesh.
We have lost our inspiration in a sea of rancid festering mess! 
You can call me a whiner; say I'm a fool lost in a self-hating rut. 
Yet, I gain no inspiration in watching these idiots shake their butts! 

Take a minute to ponder over the world you will leave your child.
It's a primal land of lust, prowled by veraciously hungry pedophiles. 
Find your inner worth, and fight for the best things in your life. 
Stop engorging just your flesh and contributing to the increasing strife. 
Tune out the monosyllabic idiots who continuously blare in your ear. 
They are inspiring murderous idiots that your child may someday fear.

We have Hollywood along with mainstream media and the absence of parenting to blame for the current slop we're in. Used as a tool to shape opinion and erode the moral principled base, it's no wonder our society is sick and turning to those that represent Hollywood for worth. Great point Eddie!

wonderful read eddie, and i love the message of this one, too many great lines to quote... however it's very clear that you have quite a recognizable poetic voice, that is very distinguished. your choice of words and images in your pieces are truly yours... you have made them your own, (sorry to ramble on) anyway, great read.
