Space: Now That's Some Weird-A*s S**t!

Anti-media Rant!

                                               

If you're looking for real  poetry, this ain't it!

Look up to the heavens some warm summer night,

some summer night when you're higher than a kite.

It truly is wondrous, but think of all the weird-a*s s**t

 out there, if you let your imagination run a bit.

Maybe an alien freakazoid is right now staring back at you,

plotting having mankind for a snack, what would you do,

say, if an alien armada was headed this way?

And they weren't screwing around, they

were intent on squishing us, like a bug under logging boots?

If those alien b******s got off on extermination pursuits?

We think we're safe, because we've yet to see any signs

of an alien civilization, but what if one day we suddenly find

we're not alone in the universe, and not only not alone,

but they're dangerous b******s--talk about your ET phone home!

I don't want to alarm you, but CNN does.

In fact, that story would be right in their wheelhouse, cause

they're in the business of scaring the crap out of us,

with terrifying what-ifs and totally-baseless

scenarios in their quest for ever-higher ratings,

never mind if it's not true, scary brings

cash. In fact, when I watch their coverage all day,

I just know there's some kind of disaster headed my way.

And they're not alone in fear-mongering

for ratings, all the stations do it. It has me pondering

some scary-a*s, ludicrous line of the terrify script,

has me gulping the Kool-Aid, instead of sip.

When did T.V. news turn from, "We report, you decide!",

into, "Climb aboard our nightmare rocket, it's one wild ride!"

TV news has become like the National Enquirer. I won't follow their misguided leads.

Then you're so much smarter than I--the definition of crazy is doing or seeing
the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result--I rest my case!
