The Bigger They Are
old, rich, white & wrinkly---
the kind of guy
who you would pick out
of a lineup if there was
an ad for a television show
about to come out called
“the man,” as in that proverbial
cold hearted corporate tyrant who
will stop at nothing to profit from the
suffering of others through the hustling
and outright looting of anyone in his path,
well,
he began chomping up newspapers like pac
man in the mid-1950’s as everyone under the
sun knows, and he hadn’t stopped until most
recently when he got his balls caught in the
door of whatever limo he was being escorted
into---
as the story unfolds and we watch the old
withering pac man’s best friend and associate of
52 years, mr. hinton leave the sinking ship
this past friday and
all the dirty
birdies like the head of scotland yard
are coming out of the woodwork to bail on ol’ ebenezer---
amidst the arrests of people like
New of the World’s editor,
ms. brooks &
prime minister david cameron’s former communications director
andy coulson---
others in the UK will certainly follow &
as mr. cameron sounds the alarm to pull together
an emergency parliamentary meeting,
the FBI gears itself up
to investigate murdoch’s american wing of his
empire & you know what that means---
FOX
NEWS,
HERE
COME
THE
PITCHFORKS
&
TORCHES.
