Credulous Poem by Wilfred Mellers

Credulous
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Sunday, February 14,2016

False salutations you're sending.
Following only what‘s fashionably trending
Worthless coinage you are spending
As if the world is truly ending

Facebook fakes you're befriending.
A hand up you're not lending.
Your whole life you've been pretending.
To ritual suicide, you're blending.

Social media you're defending.
Messages fill your inbox pending.
The number of likes in your life depending
Lesser views to those condescending

Opinions Shaped by Social Media
It's all there sourced from Wikipedia
Just a walking, brainless encyclopedia
Murky the harlot agonizes with chlamydia

Eyes seldom cry in bleached suburbia.
From a culture suffering from Negrophobia
Countless many conditioned by Homophobia
Cuddled faith for their Necrophobia

The world is in a downward spiral
Cute Cats now went viral
Blind we are to the pathology
Worshiping Greek and Roman mythology

Failing to see the inauguration of a new Third Reich
What's important is the number of your likes
Sightless by the ways of Cupid
Fools being led by the stupid

Lynched by authorities burned and roasted
'O' my', there goes another cat video posted
Distracted for attention span are short
What did she just say in Judge Judy's court?

The truth they often distort
Policies for the rich Senators fully support
The New World Order identified by passports
Wealthy missionaries hide their consorts

So we dine on the deceits we are being fed
Disingenuous words by cliques are being spread
It is already the dawn of the living dead
The fool-hearten won't hear a word that's being said

From Mid-American cities to the capital of Uganda
They set us upon each other with their propaganda
Is it black; white, or a Chinese Panda?
A layout of a manifesto conceals a secreted agenda.
