50 Shades of Lies

This one IS actually inspired after I read and discussed 50 Shades of Grey.

It’s all in perception

A new, general direction

To face your mind

In the state of a blind

To believe what’s not

You seek what’s been sought

 

Twist of reality

To make casualty

You think what is wrong

As if it were right.

 

Propaganda read

Copyright bred

Domination said

To snap in her head.

 

Reading those words

Believing the deceiving

That says it should be

“This way’s more pleasing”.

 

Downgrading humankind

Losing our hope

We cling to examples

Reliving a joke.

 

Author's Note

A discussion I had with a friend about 50 Shades of Grey "Making women believe THIS is how they should act". Now, I haven't taken any sides on this yet, but on the side that says "It's just not right" is where I'm leaning, and thus... I wrote this.

Hi Michael,
I love the way you end your lines with opposite words that rhyme, you give this piece a melodic ring that just let's the words flow as you gracefully let them roll on your tongue.
Your point: Made
Understood: Definitely, you show that not everything you read should be the basis of how you act towards life or a situation.
I agree with your words that there's always two sides of a story. You as a viewer, reader, have to decide on which side you take.
Language: Exquisite and understandable, you made this fun and understandable to read

[Michael Thrower]

Wow, thank you. That was one of the best and most helpful of reviews I have ever received. I really like the way you broke it down like that, and thank you again for reading.

I never read the book--and I don't think I ever will. Not that I have anything against it--to me, it just doesn't sound worth the market price. I could spend that money better elsewhere; I'm into other types of writings and genres

[Michael Thrower]

Same here. I read about half of it to my girlfriend. I don't think I'll go any further.

[Michael Thrower]

Thanks for reading, btw!

I never read the whole book, only bits, but from what I heard, it went beyond fettish and into degradation. But I honestly don't know.

Anyways, the poem was really good. I can't rhyme like you can so mad props there. :)

[Michael Thrower]

Lol thanks, and THAT'S the word I was looking for. Degradation. I couldn't think of it the whole time I was writing. Now I need to edit.
