Paradox Hoax

I keep fondling dreams as I  

flip through FOX, CNN and MSNBC networks.

 

An electric lady land fantasy

of revolutions where over and over and

under and through inconsistent gibberish of

conservative conversationalists’ and

liberal libel is taken for truth.

 

My heart is pumping out toxic fiber optic

            editorial journalistic pollution like kidneys

secrete the habit of alcohol and

   cigarette poisons.

 

Our dependence on government help is

broken glass shards ruining the

veins of society

 

while Limbaugh, and spring chicken heads with a View are enslaving our voices and

limiting the truth of our choices using

eminent domain for our minds as they spit out 

their opinions through television and radio

frequencies into our brain waves as truth.

 

How some American hearts stay warm with

nightly news schisms, burning intolerance,

            unreal realism, religious sincerity posed

and limp dick Viagra commercials

Thanks for the comment/review...This one was revised many times before it made it into my book The Evolution of A Word Made Flesh poems by Gustavo Rodriguez, which is available on Amazon.com. Originally it was a poem about self love.

you've covered the scenario in one vivid poem. the language is easy, friendly colloquial. the irony of events is a reality of modern day life.

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.

Walt Whitman, American Poet (1819-1892)
