Misery Loving Media
/the media
fancies
to highlight
our lowlights
for ratings
political gain
over and over again
playing clips
sound bites
out of context
heavily edited souls they are/
They promote hate and fear
They are Deacons of division
they love a riot but denounce riot gear
thrive on division of the races
getting filthy rich, steel-trapping our peace
wearing the fur of our misery/
placing poison flower clowns in our hearts
rabid hummingbirds in our minds
toss fiery darts in the last stand of bliss
of our songbird time/
never a good word about anything/
They're but flicking tongues of the devil,
sucking hearts from bloated chests
sliding under desks
for a suckle and a piss
commercial
darkness
truth and knowledge
heavily edited/
