Gladius

A Poem by Aries
"

<> Oh, I'm venting again.

"
Are you drowning in the sludge
in our feeds
or on the vine?
 from the TV flows this vitriolic grime
oozing out like a mantra of filth and mud
Red or blue on black and white
Whatever spoils an appetite
sets forth to boil our blood
to make us fight
cuz everyone is so f*****g sure that they're right
  
They're lost in rhetoric and witty stereotypes
pointing the finger and swelling the hype
Always someone dissatisfied
when they lose their slice of the pie
Sick of the racists and the welfare queens
the woman haters and the obnoxious teens
Reality shows and political slant
Sleazy businessmen and WIC scams
There's no sense of decency and I doubt there ever was
Do you want to know my opinion?

I didn't think so, then shut the f**k up
