the tv jocks jump up and down spewing out-right lies
fox news edits out the clapping during the president's speech
Propaganda has been a tool of war
since
we jumped up and down and screamed
to try to drive off a predator
since
we wore Masks and Body paint into Battle
since t
he first word was spoken
deception existed before words
we see it everywhere in the wild among the cleverest
truth is what is believed in a democracy
because we vote it into truth/pray it into truth/chant it into truth/preach it/myth-it ... into truth
I fight fire with fire and want the best flame thrower
trained myself for a mental battle for the minds/a writer of influence
the career wouldn't have interested me if I didn't think I could be of use
started my college career with dual majors of psychology and journalism
and switched out of both for writing... poetry and history
to tumble back into history and learn the ancient lesson that there is no need to reinvent the wheel
handed a pen they told me was mightier than a sword meant nothing to me when I was young
a quirk that might lead to the dreams of wealth and fame and influence
the american dream I was instilled with .... gonna be a rockstar, ma... just you wait...
a generation brought up thinking they would be famous
probably still are... they have a much better chance of getting hit by lightening
now I have consciously turned from wealth and fame
practically
turned down the dirty deal that would have give me that dream
because one bloody penny destroys a million dollars
won't write in no damn genre to please an editor/lure a publisher with an easy sell
write some more porn about children for children/invent a Miley Cyrus Spy Character
fuck that
my words
my agenda
what I write is like who I fuck
No one is going to tell me what
or who
is right or wrong
when science plain out says they are big fat fucking liars whether they know it or not
I am not above lying to make a point
done it in real life to sting people/make them feel bad about being an asshole
played a character they were sorry they were a dick to
what the fuck?
We have our propaganda and they have theirs and they have theirs and they have.....
The 'witting' see through the bullshit
The 'unwitting' sit back and receive just the message and play out agenda's they shouldn't even agree with
go against their own self-interests... because they want to root for the home team if they are murderers...
gonzo became the cloak... the moniker that is meaninglessly tattered by my subjective usage
the melding of fact and fiction to find the point where fact and myth meld
saying you don't lie is the biggest lie of all
the lie that says insanity is here/ego/the liar side of this person
who too need what the need
'Napoleon in rags...
calls to you,
you can't refuse...
he's not selling any alibi's
when he stares into the vacuum in your eyes
and says,
hey,
do you want to make a deal?'
isolated and battered and wounded
I am cornered and mean
going out
leaving behind a wide path of destruction
a world of Pain
I'll fight with lies if that is what it takes
used to earn me big tips in the cab
even wrote a philosophy paper about how I became whatever they wanted
and used this a class weapon to redistribute a few bucks from the wealthy to the needy (me)
Conning in the name of God .... sure wasn't the first
Now I write poetry I want gathered into a tiny book of aphormisms
some young revolutionaries will pull out and scan on their missions for a moment of peace
a laugh or inspiration
dreams oh dreams oh dreams oh dreams oh dreams
when did you become so banal as a new flat screen tv?
