Read all about…
Wait
Why do we know
Everything that can be known
About the life and times
Of every passersby
In the media
Standby
Yet
Still don’t know
Who rocks the vote
Until we are too old
To reap the benefits
Of the cash stash
That was slashed
Back when we were
Twenteen
And when did it become
Priority
To know every word
To every pop song
That breaks through
The speakers of society’s stereo
Yet we can’t recite
The words
Words
Words
That have shaped
A world unknown
To the passerby
Of everyday life
Now here comes
The latest news
