the drivel

Drivel drivel drivel
the pundits have to come up with something new to say everyday

something new for us to think and discuss
a social ill oozing pus in a landscapes of open sores

standing in our living rooms watching our neighbors houses burn while we think about something else

murder on the news a distraction from our real problems


Hmmm....  thinking and watching and absorbing
Taking in the daily crap of news in my computer,
 the bit that makes it to tv that interests me. . .
 Watch the telecaste news and you can choose which ideology you want espoused.
 Whether to raise the kids just enough left or just enough right to stay within the desired perimeters.
Two paths taken to the exclusion of all others... long after we know of the quick-sand to come

my life holds only as much significance as I choose to lift
what I pick up and shape
