Our media fixation <br />Portends our inclination <br />To believe mis-information <br />That they pound us with <br /> <br />This propoganda agitation <br />Might lead to our damnation <br />It's immoral aberration <br />That they hound us with <br /> <br />The extremists left and right <br />With propoganda they incite <br />To keep us all up-tight <br />Masquerading as profound <br /> <br />They never sound contrite <br />As each alleges to be right <br />Poised and ready for a fight <br />Never finding neutral ground <br /> <br />With their overblown perspective <br />They're defectively deceptive <br />Spouting insolent invective <br />They induce abject confusion <br /> <br />To be electively effective <br />They're affectively selective <br />To perplex is their objective <br />So be-wary of conclusions<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/media-delusions/
