Not Necessarily The News

Rather a “Soap Opera” narrative

Absorbed ocularly and audibly

Dulling senses so senselessly

Matters not the abysmal outcome

Distraction is the purpose it serves

Look around it is working too well

Are we dismantling nuclear weapons

Are we feeding the undernourished

Are we housing the homeless

Are we awakening the unconscious

No, we are allegedly building walls

Heatedly fighting over global warming

Pointing fingers to everyone but self

Taking impossible sides on a sphere

Finding new ways to extract oil

Manipulating currencies satiating greed

Convincing everyone needs a gun

To defend against tyrannical government

Bwaha hahaha hoohoo hehe hahaha

“The real looting in this country takes place in the transfer of the wealth from the poor to the rich.

The poor have been systematically looted in this country, the rich have been made richer.

When fascism comes to America, it will not be in black and brown shirts, it will not be with jack boots.

It will be Nike sneakers and smiley shirts.”
