Reality Tv Poems

Life is like Reality TV


Hyperbole hubris

Venal penal

Avarice abyss

Bucolic tonic?

Ironic…sardonic

Or

Vitriolic bliss mate!

Mendacious salacious

Algorithm schism

Audacious outrageous

Vicarious or nefarious

Whatever geography

Clever hagiography

Moderate.. no berate

Generate..venerate hate

Casting various sordid spells

Schadenfreude morbid void

Everlasting..well..it sells well (swell)

But

Despotism urges Nepotism

Surges of Plutocracy

Merges with scourges of Kleptocracy

Purges meritocracy...dirges of Democracy

So

Resist narcissists trysts

Reminisces.. enlighten..persists

Sagacious benevolent gracious times

Redolent without malicious vicious

Murky mucky malevolent mists

April 29 the sense of an ending End of Trump Reality TV Show

April 29—The sense of an ending… End of Trump Reality TV Show?

While watching the Trump trials
I sense an ending 
To the Trump Reality TV show.

As he is revealed to be 
What he is 
Nothing but a charlatan
A con man, a grifter. 

And he is not the King
Not a dictator, and not a genius,

He seems to

EPIC HUNT

This is Epic!
an epic adventure
a moment of truth
a wild ride
Oh My God!
sliding on ice
still moving, still moving
HAHAHAHAHA!
amazing!
every moment counts
right into the belly of the beast
we’re going to get our gold
we’re either all in or all out
a circular pattern
ship is adrift
keep pulling, keep pulling
expect the unexpected
forecast is bad
decide to give it one more shot
we don’t want

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry

Reality Tv

it seemed like
two tight busted
bloused women
we're going to have

a round about but
a meaningful in
cluded very stout 
woman broke it up

no one wants to watch
this she shouted as the
ratings plummeted about
but as soon as she left set

all that made 
a difference
to what was 
viewed

the two in fued seemed
to fuse together as we
segued to the voice of

Reality

as builders spend pennies
flipping profits on houses
lifestyle gurus
show us how to fold trousers

and chefs under pressure
scream out all their orders
while people in need
are labelled as hoarders 

and bookies fix odds
for the afternoon races
as judges cast judgements
on bizarre family cases

and contestants light buttons
to win mystery prizes
while traffic cops chase
young suicide drivers

and retirees escape
to a life on

Reality Tv

I live in an improbable bubble, insulated from humanity's ugly warts,
here there are still reasons to believe in God.
Of course, I see what's on the news, but isn't that just a reality show?
I feel overly exposed to the world's injustices as a nightly recipient of
"Breaking News!"
The sky is always falling somewhere, it seems.
And every day,

Too Much Reality Tv

Something has gripped the human race,
The television blares out laughter,
Personal people with personal issues,
Sharing their hearts to anyone who will listen.

The kitchen turns into a studio for the day,
Cameras whirring in and out of focus, 
Showing us the reality of their lives,
Children run around giggling and laughing.

What is the fascination with reality tv?
Do we need
