Media’s Twilight Zone Sensing a Jolting suddenness Feeling desperately, for something in sinister blackness Ohhh, curse this high definition darkness Curse this spare time of evil Full-throated roars….blood thirsty eyes It’s strong cloud of raised eyebrows Taunting promises, arresting souls Long plumed war horse soldiers Tormenting clarity of vision Handcuffing consciousness Primal nature spreading degradation, chaos… Mistrust…. Raging mindless, urine regime Monotonous zombie people Attacking the essence of man Haunting coffins of abstracts, lies Propaganda Walking nightmares, mud stalkers With tarantula legs Crossing the cries of hell’s outcasts Skeletal stares Whispery fingers of mildewed blood in the air Visitations coming more frequently More consuming Rampaging bitterness, stabbing the spine Hammering the psyche Seeding poisonous alarm Dead lips of icy breezes caress The back of my neck, my mind, my soul Gage reflex of rising bile Knees me hard in the stomach Ripping apart Holy Trinity Hot stench of greed, lusts, power, control... Child molesters.... Deafening driving rain Midair collisions with the debris of fear Funeral nails scraping at my window Like a long high pitched mutterings, a dismal howl Of wolves tearing apart the kill Gnashing the chest of freedom...the living No more channel surfing for me...

The media can really put a damper on one's day ~ and night, "eh" ?!?(as we say in Canada! ) This truly was brilliantly and powerfully expressed! You are one talented writer! Love & Light, Linda |

Good god! I ran around locking the doors after this one. And I'm listening to the stereo so the TV won't know I'm here. Poets against the war is redundant |

Laughing at RS - hehe - have to agree - this one gave me the chills - shiver bones - this is why I don't watch the news - love my DVR where i can choose what to record and skip through the commercials - Oy! Enjoyed this scary tumble Susan If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . . |
