Three Word Wednesday
the acrid stench
of sensationalism
emanates from third rate pap
dramatic chick clit lit
written by celebrity authors
to a well known formula
makes most new literature
fit for quarantine
the liners of kitty litter trays
By the Waters of Babylon
We lay down and wept and wept
for thee Zion
We remember we remember we remember
thee Zion
tis not just the environment
that is being cynically
and systematically destroyed

ReplyDeleteIndoctrination by crap media and pop culture are highly effective in producing zombies.
DeleteWe are outcasts! We are the enemy who dares to challenge Mammon; lone voices crying in the wilderness. No Order of Australia for you!
ReplyDeleteBoo hoo!
DeleteSensationalism! I'll have to take your word for that. I like the way you bring the words of the song into your poem, And the strong statements expressed here. Phew!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right in all you've said in this well crafted piece. Great work, but it's sad the culture has come down to this.
ReplyDeleteWould I be politically incorrect if I say it's nice to read an angry piece about something other than pollution? Perhaps, but even so, I really like the strong message in this piece!
ReplyDeleteHalf way through I was ready to cry 'kitty abuse!" but your last verse nailed it for me - so true.
ReplyDeleteAh...something we agree on:)
ReplyDeleteIt's the thin end of the Choc Wedge.
