Jslambert Mister Roboto Poet Prose Poetry

Fooling Us All

Dumbing us down
no wonder we don't know
unaware for so long
feeding 
on what's been eating us

"but the bait tastes so good!"
we say
drooling diabetes down lazy lips
entranced
by high definition devices
all the world's shiny entices

and then there's addictions
the medications 
vibrations
frequencies 
they're fingering Mother Earth's atmosphere to
seducing mankind 
with the silence of her screams
raping our nurturer
as we remain oblivious

these elite thugs
conducting violence above the law
fooling us all

Rockman Pritts January 26, 2012 at 12:19 AM This poem reminds me of the beatniks that used to exchange seats on stage in a dark, smokey club back in the 60's. Wearing berets and dark sunglasses, reciting poems against the man and society to the snapping of fingers as applause. SNAP! SNAP!! SNAP!!! Rockman :-)
