Media
white walls of
television screens
where the future lays
hidden in static
images
and smoky effects
behind recycled cans
and beer bottle labels
under skirts of
cheerleaders
and slogans
for consumers
in pages of bias
and speeches decorated
with patriotic backgrounds
and empty promises
on MTV
laden with Fox(es)
just out of reach
are bifocals
and remote controls
and ending the search
is an e-truth
sited by mothers of soldiers
and voiceless
corpses
who believed in it all
