"The Narcissistic Selfie Nation" lyrics:
"who are you? what am i? devil or god? worm or butterfly?
our characters are disguise."
(cosmetic make-over of a perfectly tainted image of rust
dressed up to be what will always be desired in lust
to idolize an icon, a fallacy, advertised as beauty
to worship vanity, sold as self-security)
FUCK THE IMAGES YOU SELL
FUCK THE MESSAGES YOU SEND...
i'm falling out
fading from this bleak reality
never noticed how i've become addicted to the nothing
i'm bowing out
bought out
escaping from this botched idea of civility
grit my teeth
and smile
it takes every ounce of sanity
every fucking bit of sanity
clinch my fists
and smile
it takes every ounce of sanity
to tune you out
turn you off
you're a masquerade of fame and vanity
you're illusions of reality
you're rhetoric called news
you're commercialized abuse
you're commentators designed to mislead and confuse
you're a drug and all it takes to quit is to unplug
i'm tuning out
fading from this static overload
couldn't give a fuck about your next episode
i'm bowing out
escaping from...
your masquerade of fame and vanity
your illusions of reality
your rhetoric called news
your commercialized abuse
your commentators designed to mislead and confuse
you're a drug and all it takes to quit is to unplug
We are born into a world
We are born into a world controlled by media, brainwashed from the day we are born. Its just many dont realised, happy to put up with the bullshit and lies.
I like this poem, i like stuff that speaks truth. Its good my friend. Keep up the good work.
On a side note may i suggest kate tempest as someone to listen to, she has many poems which cut to the core.
I'm sorry i wasn't who you thought i was. F**k it, i'm sorry i wasn't who i thought i was.
...I bought the heartbreak hotel on my own with no investors, closed it down and opened the F**k you, get over it bed and breakfast
Consumerist lies are the
Consumerist lies are the worst. You planning on running for congress? I hope so, you got some great insights for some darn good policy making. Sad how our whole lives revolve around this. I'm no exception. Home, health and beauty with doses of reality tv and dr. Phil patch ups :s great read thanks! SS
Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS
"Well, it's love, but not as we know it."
HAHA, no way on congress. I
HAHA, no way on congress. I know I would be punching some faces in or trying to make them riot. Maybe not a bad idea these days, it may be what's needed to wake some of those people up who have just gotten too comfortable with their stations and following the status quo of DC politics. Sadly the same thing can be said for most every day Americans, comfort breeds complacency. There's a lot of people who sleepwalk through their lives until something tragic happens to them or someone they love then they have their new found motivations.
You are so wise! Yes riots
You are so wise! Yes riots and no riots a double edged sword poor Rodney king. Nah the world has had enough. Perhaps lobby movements and pressure your poetry is reall good post on many sites maybe a face book page who knows? You could start a revolution! In the best nicest possible way ;)

Revolutions Are Not Easy
It means life time commitment. It means having your name dragged into mud again and again as your political enemies in power seek to silence you and pollute your ability to reach any audience. See game of thrones, see house of cards (Spacey), see west wing for examples of high order political power weilding - then write excellent poetry - a far better way to stage a revolution.
