In the Absence of a Cliffhanger

as our congregation of lying nitwits & corporate whores beat the drum incessantly BAM BAM BAM BAM bringing pain to the eardrums of the american people, with all their fingers in the pies of the media sending cues to the hollow reporters who are pretending to ponder every next “move” of the republicans & the democrats (two puppet hands from the same puppeteer, whose eyes never leave the prize---that of more wealth, more power & less accountability to anyone but themselves---those whose faces you rarely see anywhere, whose names you don’t know & they are all quite content to keep it this way) as if there was some outcome that we couldn’t write down now without any consultation from professional screenwriters, nothing more than a bad b-movie, all hacked away with red pen markings & already rejected from any hollywood producer’s desk for bearing a plot that has been kicking us in the temples until we too have been deadened, reeking of a stench that no one in the world can stand like the decomposing rib cage of some dead horse in a street long forgotten, with fans blowing the smell around this ghost town in question--- as we americans fear less & less with every lie that comes our way & the talking heads grasp for more ways to spin this inevitable outcome, we are bent over the table ready for another dose of violently harsh prison sex--- wherein we will be raped of more things that we desperately need, so that this country that is one step away from going the way of rome (bleeding from within), can allow those that need nothing to gain more and more.

@steven cooke. Thanks for reading! One shouldn't hold one's breath when it comes to the money hoarding elite listening to anyone but themselves, however. The people of said countries need to stop listening to them, as they pass their lies down through media hacks who they control as puppeteers. There are truths outside the mainstream, certainly, but people have to grow to have the ambition to seek them. : )
