Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

Propaganda

Media propaganda burns the mind with lies
Literally brainwashing the way you think
Even a therapist calls it hypnosis, many they hypnotize
The corrupt information spewed, surely does stink!

Do yourself a favor, research for truth out there
Find documents, witness interviews, things undeniable
It may save your life, it' can be found, it is somewhere
Because, only the truth will be sustainable!

It may be easier to go along with what you are told
By listening all the time, as if everything is true
But all I can say in this important rhyme
Is by choosing to do this, it can fully derail you

William Kelii Kekaula February 2, 2022 at 1:04 AM Mass media milks the unknowledgeable via tactical lure towards biased political power and their monetary profiting. At times, I'm not really involved -- just enjoying a "poke" or two! I had fun, Heidi, thanks aplenty my friend, Aloha! Heidi Sands February 2, 2022 at 4:16 AM True William. Thank you for stopping by with your input. I hope you have a nice day. Take care :)

P.S. Awtry December 17, 2021 at 1:48 PM I see it too, Heidi... <3 Heidi Sands December 18, 2021 at 6:03 AM Thank you P S. :)

Gershon Wolf December 5, 2021 at 5:10 PM Frankly, I've just stopped following everything at this point. Fed up altogether, I guess. Heidi Sands December 5, 2021 at 6:18 PM I don't have cable and do not watch mainstream media, but I can see what is happening from info. on social media. I understand :)

Jennifer Proxenos December 4, 2021 at 7:18 AM Certainly the news media does this. Never believe a politician and choose your friends wisely. You are so right in what you poetically tell us in this wonderful write, if you choose to believe all of what people say it is true, it can derail you. Well penned dear Heidi. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Heidi Sands December 4, 2021 at 7:33 AM Thank you for your input and understanding Jennifer. I hope all is well :)

Sotto Poet December 3, 2021 at 12:13 PM That is correct. It is not journalists who work in the mainstream press; instead, it is activists. They post to sell their goods or to promote themselves. Heidi, you've written an excellent piece. Heidi Sands December 3, 2021 at 1:11 PM Thank you very much Lasaad :)

Rico Leffanta December 3, 2021 at 10:42 AM Like China and Russia, the USA government is of the PARTY, by the PARTY, and for the PARTY, which control media advertisers which control the media, so - like the Chinese and Russians - Americans really must heed the foreign press to catch a glimmer of what is really happening in their own country! Well caught and scribed, Heidi! Heidi Sands December 3, 2021 at 11:16 AM Yes. Thank you very much Rico. I appreciate your input :)

Voodoo Child December 2, 2021 at 10:49 PM Very true indeed. The mainstream media are not journalists, they are activists. We have activist judges, activist teachers, activist celebrities etc who espouse one world view. A very self-righteous condescending woke orthodoxy that the silent majority are getting tired of. Heidi Sands December 3, 2021 at 5:41 AM Thank you for your input. I appreciate it :)

Caren Krutsinger December 2, 2021 at 8:53 PM " research for truth out there" - wouldn't that be something? But wait, what if truth disagreed with us? Then does it become false truth or alternative facts? Ha! I wish this would open some eyes. Great poem. Heidi Sands December 3, 2021 at 5:40 AM Thank you Caren :)

Eve Roper December 2, 2021 at 6:53 PM I close my ears to so much.. They just publish to sell their product or themselves. Good write, Heidi Heidi Sands December 2, 2021 at 6:55 PM Thank you Eve. I appreciate your comment :]
