Media Montage 2: September 5th 2019. Poem by DM W

She was a wild girl: she was freedom's daughter,
But look at her now confined to corporate controlled Hades;
Selling random products with such inane glee.
Without the faintest hint of irony,
She says that you have to order via free phone:
You receive 50% off your first purchase apparently.
Still one never knows; the gods might yet call out her name...
He was growling at her like a grizzled bear.
But all in all he's a good egg...'a real nice guy'.
He just feels he has to prove himself from time to time.
O they could be so much more than part time lovers.
But couldn't he, just for once, buy her something that doesn't remind me of her recent past...

We casually flick through channels;
In a mind numbing state of zero consciousness.
O what words of wisdom the media voices are mouthing today:
'Being an astronaut is possibly the coolest thing in the world.'
'When starting a business you sometimes need to improvise.'
'There must be some way to retrieve that data! '
Nowadays we can travel to iconic landmarks anywhere in the world:
'Hey you guys..it's as hot as hell over here! '

Industry experts and business leaders are as irritating
As midges at a camp site. How I'd like to swat them all away!
Endless labyrinths and mazes of colour and sound.
Lost values and creeds wither away in the heart's wastelands;
Unnecessary intrusions into private lives
By the overtly curious modern generation...
I have profound visions of many things
But I feel that happiness is merely an illusion.

The tennis star is saying that he just kept on going point by point.
O he played such lovely strokes and timed them really well!
Of course, it seems he's happy as long as he's making plenty of money.The Wonder Core exercise guide tells me that its fine brand
Will get my entire body working effectively
And that I will be in the best shape of my life.

The ageing politician is utterly untrustworthy.
Indeed, he is a compulsive liar.
Now he faces a highly charged legal challenge.
One in ten of his countrymen are openly racist.

Woe to those who bless the bones of the carcass.
Woe to those who sow seeds of dissent and confusion.
We need miracles more than ever in this wayward world.
Got to keep hanging on. According to the glitsy God channel,
The key is prayer. Prayer is required.
So pray, pray, pray...have a nice day!
