Distressed American Poetry Submissions


A Bit Of Poetry

From Pearl

Punk the Ratings and Power Off

Punish the Press,

Poodles that they are,

For putting their

Pathetically privileged

Little lives over

Providing really

Truthful reporting.

 

In the pocket of

    the president

and still too exhausted

     from Clinton fatigue

to crawl out;

 

Lazy, lying

    Polling Pundits

Would rather ramble

     about numbers

than listen

      to people.

 

The people,

   half of whom

they have betrayed;

And the other half,

    Watch Fox.


W*s Legacy Project

The warmongers are

 in charge now.

Unleashing their power crazed

wet dreams upon

the world.

 

Making War for Peace

Bombs for Freedom

 

Born with silver guns

in their mouths,

violent, vindictive,

vulgar frat boys,

Demanding total loyalty,

absolute silence.

 

Opening the floodgates

for terror and ruin.

Privacy hemorrhages from

the masses

While secrecy closes in

around the rulers.

Post Mortem on the fourth Estate

                     R.I.P. American free press                    

 

Mass media

Monopolizing minds

Manufacturing the times

Mythmaking, Muckraking

Fear snaking into living rooms

Throughout the land.

 

The world shudders,

as mega phonics

of war ring hollow in

terrorized air.

The lowdown on

the showdown,

countdown to war.

 

The press commits

mass suicide

rising long enough

to Slaughter America

just in time for

Armageddon.
