Empty laughing
Raining into the ears
Of the maladjusted

Chain of traditions
Leading gullible pooches
Down the wide road of conformity
Into the hot molds of mediocrity

Holding the "American Dream"
Like a tasty milkbone
In front of wet black noses

Meeting impending doom
Like a child going to the circus
Laughing at the funny clowns
Dancing to Rainbow Connection
As sung by Kermit
The satanic frog

Hot wax pours
Slowly
Fools too busy enjoying pretty lights
To feel the excruciating pain
Press closes
Time runs out
Screams memorable
Out of some bad Wes Craven movie

Silence
Show flickers off
Press opens
Revealing the new shiny happy people

Sadness pelts down
Millions open mailboxes
To the invitation of lifetime
Molds reset

Another black day begins
To the laughing of children
Goose stepping to the square
To hear the brilliant oratory
From the god of the 4th Reich
Barney the purple dinosaur

went hunting again and glad I did.  Wonderful work here Brad, truly inspirational (deviously so, that is...)

LOL at this one. My daughter threw her Barney into the toys-for-the-thrift store donation pile before he ever even had a chance to get dirty from normal kids play.
And? he was right in there with the Barbie dolls, some of whom had their heads removed before being donated. LOL.
