Media Whores

I cut my tongue out 

for a worthy cause 

my views don’t 

congeal with yours

I’m sick of the dumb 

woke

twisted 

shit

virtue signalling nit wits, 

caricature’s perfecting 

“meme” actions, 

gung-ho reactions

to the simplest of language, 

straight to the point facts

are too hard to manage,

self-inflicted damage

highlighted in a trending #hashtag

draws the boffins 

to the flames of stupidity, 

they’re burning up,

we’re all burning up,

it’s front-page news 

we’re clearly fucked,

there’s a non-understanding 

of the task at hand,

I’m a stranger in this land,

your baseline mentality 

is constructed from 

an engineered reality,

times don’t change naturally

the modification 

of each generation

is introduced through education,

the worship of a false idol

is the rival to self-belief 

they’re tacky and cheap,

I cut my tongue out 

for a worthy cause 

my views don’t 

congeal with yours,

save me from these 

media whores!
