Don'T Listen To the Actors, Part I
You see them always blathering
on the internet and TV,
a bunch of adult pretenders,
parroting that tired P.C.,
telling the general public
what they should believe and should be,
as if we should listen to them
simply because they are pretty.
In fact, given their profession
mandates that they lie, and do it well,
we should look with real suspicion
on anything they have to tell,
since we can’t know if they’re sincere,
or if they’re just trying to sell
you on the latest leftist trend
that only will bring your life hell.
How can you ever trust someone
who can fake trust, not break a sweat?
To learn from a dissembler
who can play such tricks in their head,
making it worse, many of them
are not really all that well read,
most of them never went to college,
and I think that needs to be said.
Since when it comes to complex things,
foreign policy, economics,
mugging around for a camera
doesn’t make your mind smart or quick.
The platitudes they always spout
are just juvenile and thick,
and you can’t really delve that deep
when you think in two-hour flicks.
Worst still is the high school way that
these actors act in the business,
like they're imitating the cool kids,
they put so much effort in this.
These days it’s all the woke nonsense,
and if the fans call their bullsh-t,
they double down on what they say,
attack their customers and persist!
CONCLUDES IN PART II.
