The Revolution Will Be Televised

The Revolution Will Be Televised

A Poem by TTBoy28

What else can be done?

Blasphemy has shattered world proportions

Collapsed are the shelters for rainy days along

 with dashed attempts of enhanced gonads of

nepotism that even the media has become ashamed

of

Even they have realized that they wronged the right

 and were wrong

Still the makeup crew has not been laid off

Cameras are being added to new areas that once

  promoted newcomers

And the newcomers used to broadcast their findings

But as the theater houses reach back into yesteryear,

 there is no future for them because they

look to bring back the days of glitz and glamour and

 the true Rona Barretts that new who were cold

who were really old and played with girly boys

and whose lipstick matched the dipstick before

being tossed in the ditch after leaving the pole

Always a soul for sale ready to tell a tale to

 avoid jail

Wanting a paycheck for nothing

 when casting a spell for a new season of change

But it was cast for seasons instead

 now the leaves blow with nowhere to go

Soon with no one to pick them up and place them

 So much baggage

No one wants to claim

Afraid to blame again

 they must thrive on something

 When the media comes knocking

home for a story

This time, it's really the right time

. wow ... i'm not sure i follow entirely because of my limited knowledge of the english language ... but these lines are very, very powerful ...

now the leaves blow with nowhere to go
Soon with no one to pick them up and place them
So much baggage
No one wants to claim
Afraid to blame again
they must thrive on something
When the media comes knocking
home for a story
This time, it's really the right time

. and the title is pretty amazing too ... people hate to take a stand ... even an ethical stand ... and the truth that is projected is just that ... projected truth ... and i suffer from an aversion to unnecessary propaganda and hype ... it's better to let actions and merit speak ...
