Cliffhangers

Broadcast into your living room

Or the satellite radio in your car

Well placed words mining the mind

Like a carrot on the proverbial stick

Down a dark yet primrose path

.
Constant and consistent

Pervasive and persuasive

Detrimental and disturbing

Suspenseful and suspending

Rationale and reasoning

.
Like an electronic crying of wolf

That we should simply ignore

No matter how often we check

The danger simply does not exist

Lest we be the slaughtered sheep

.

Cliffhangers meant to keep people

Focused on the distraction

Instead of guiding them

To their birthright divinity as

Evolutionary sublime experts
