Media Montage 1: September 5th 2019 Poem by DM W

Testing times in Trouble land!
News flash: some people heard a bomb explode this morning and saw shrapnel fly out in all directions. We do not yet know the numbers of casualties or fatalities.

Are you an informed citizen or a casual spectator?
Where do you stand on the deployment of tasars?
What do you think of the inevitable proliferation of nuclear weapons?
What is the will of the people with regard to Trump and Brexit?
Now the powers that be have paved verdant life away and turned it into a wasteland, what is your opinion?
What has happened to standards in public life I hear you say?
But no matter...not to worry we still have bright illusions that will dazzle you. We've polished up plastic fragments and created new products.So get ready for a wonderful world of non stop fun.
Believe us you'll start seeing things differently:

Deep cleaning is easy, fast and fun.
You can sanitise your home from top to bottom.
We have turbo charged workouts
To get you into the best shape of your life.
What do colours taste like?
Find out with Rainbow Riot fresheners.
Go see a gig. Grab your tickets now!
We have comfort and support for a great night's sleep.
We have pillows that look and feel luxurious.
Wake up feeling fresh and revived.
O that was so soothing wasn't it?
We've gotta get the world off our backs.
We have wireless headphones for free.
They are brand spanking new.
We have unlimited films and
Lot and lots of sports
Live with no irritating interruptions:
Our programmes abound with incisive commentary.

We have thousands of websites to suit your needs;
No need anymore for ideas scribbled on scraps of paper.

Absolutely nothing else will do.

O Love is in the air!
You might meet someone special tonight.
Modern love will pull you up from the underworld.
You will feel like a Greek god or goddess!
Don't go chasing crooked shadows.
We have everything you need right here...right now.
