Media

press ganged or poetry head on collision with the truth beheaded by ignorance’s sword full steam towards censorship synchronized fabrication redacted news to follow blank lines on the page … medium holds forth a renegade séance gives head to fine crystal ball bearings heeds the apt call for intuitive positions the media retort ‘naïve foolish emotions we lead up from the front behind centres of power preserve the necessary status quo’ and yet the joker holds all the cards seeds subversion rebels reconciles reason emotion and figurative speech ‘my heart and essence are wide open books it is not over before a rotund epilogue sings spines are meant to stand tall and proclaim’ justice’s chant liberation and honesty realignment of wheels out of control chorus of critique of outdated lies rhapsody instead of guillotine symphonic joy or firing squad advancement or apathetic arrest beware of the trap door and deep pitfalls before you decide which way to proceed chopped heads or tale ends’ beginnings ... a no brainer unless you vote for demise
