Media Poems - Poems about Media

Once, they claimed to hold the torch, To light the world with truth and reason. But the West’s media empire— Was born not in truth, But in treason. From BBC’s royal scripts, To CNN’s manicured myths, From Fox’s fury-laced fables, To NBC’s polished distortions— They were trained, not to inform, But to perform For the empire's applause. Every lens tilted, Every headline coded, Every silence calculated— To shape the world In...

I hear voices in my head, I touch pain On every television Except the typical symbols Of hegemony Except in a white building Miles and miles away, I touch pain! For every leaf that falls, Swallowed by the burning hell From the mighty birds Of weird names F 16, F 35... I hear these voices, We hear these voices - Miles away, node in unison, "The world...

Social media has transformed how people communicate and interact globally, fostering connectivity and collaboration~ Why is it we can’t honor, respect, or be kind without cruelty in the mix?—Poet • increases the fear of missing out • leads doubt and unhealthy comparisons • creates unrealistic expectations • causes isolation • triggers dopamine addiction • anxiety and low self-esteem Don’t throw it all away~ Moderation is key! ...

Mirror in the washroom, mirror in the hall, who is the saddest, most tragic of all? Me, me, me— our chant, our plea, our scroll. We cry for heartbreak, curse what we recall, mourn mood swings and childhood’s sprawl. We share our feelings, raw and blatant, talk as if we own sorrow’s patent. An indulgent binge of trauma dumping hailed as “growth,” with...

Waiting for the call Time is the coin of life Spend it wisely Who's to blame? Now they know your game. Ain't it strange That we need to be framed. We need to escape To a house by the sea To get away from the The other you and me To be free It's easy to say Not so easy to see Waiting for the call ...

Social media is a charade A manic masquerade Where charlatans peddle lies And truth slowly dies But you were led to the dance And you thought you had a chance So you either go ballistic Or end up a statistic Volatile times produce hostile rhymes And television that glorifies crimes We're taught to live shameless And despite mistakes we're blameless To them everything is a...

Accept tribute and insult Because a flower to grow, Takes both sun and rain. We became angels on social media. If it is in real life, We just become a human being. Be happy by taking picture All for yourself or for nature, A social slavery common nowadays. Who forgot to give a taste of smile Our eyes will cry a lot profusely After reading social...

The emperors have no clothes on! People are living in a trance Psychologists like to call it cognitive dissonance Perhaps even a carefully crafted chance To see what isn't there, only to praise a hollow show, While truth and reason disappear, common senses go. It’s just simply a situation gone sad I can’t help but wonder, have we been had or merely...

They (the Legacy media) persist in their use of deceptive practices with the intent to obfuscate what is true. They conveniently avoid facts, that are known, intending to mislead those who are superficially engaged. The freedoms granted to the media by our constitution, as intended, was for the protection of the masses against rogue governments...

It seems to me that plastic lives, are those that are portrayed, By people whose lives are more than likely, wrongfully conveyed Social media is good for nothing, except to zombify People who sacrifice their lives, for the likes that they rely. Nobody lives a perfect life, plastic lives seem wrong. Life is far more challenging than the...

In this digital world of perpetual pleasure, Why must we purposely give each other pain, Instead of easing our pressures, We cause each other so much more strain, Grabbing and tearing at the tattered fray, Some bring upon darkness on the brightest days, It's in our nature's or so that lies been told, We waste...

Social Media influencers on the racist right said us Jews control radio and TV That we rot the roots of morality’s tree, The implication is clear; there’s no society free. One TV personality invited a guy who spouted reasons for Hitler's views As the real deal, I wonder why So much dumping on the Jews They talk of the 'noticing' -...

Constantly seeking out validation, You don’t have to know me, But I wanna be your favourite. I want you to like me so much, I hate it. Share posts or tap to follow, Get blocked and deleted, such a hard pill to swallow, The lives are so full but inside they are hollow, Love it and like it and give it a...

My muse provides me nothing with which I can get to work And so I spent an hour on Facebook… boy, am I a jerk A pointless waste of time and space and lots of stuff, all fake I should just paint a wall and watch it dry, for goodness sake There’s videos in Facebookville where you watch things...

Weapons, lenses pointed at our naked reflections we are nothing before the burst of silver flashes it doesn't matter if we are, Americans from the North..., or South before photos of the moment we are just legs, arms and mouths...
