Radios And Videos Poem by John Sensele

Tell inspirational stories, sell state-of-the-art oviducts
Hold on to vintage principles, withhold tales of despair
Frighten worry thoughts, strengthen tear ducts
When depression and suppression denigrate emotional repair.

Tell stories of space exploration, sell genuine industrial goods
Hold on to seminal norms, withhold defamation and libel
Frighten retardation thoughts, strengthen nutritional foods
When baby food packs and sacks bear a fake label.

Tell stories of a great past, sell condoms at church prices
Hold on to diplomatic ties, withhold policies of sanctions
Frighten war monger tactics, strengthen fights against systemic vices
When permissive philosophies overwhelm public presentations

Tell Aristotle, Plato and Socrates stories, sell music free of explicit lyrics
Hold on to table etiquette, withhold corruption and dysfunction videos
Frighten anti democracy proclivities, strengthen love for Physics
When a grim technology culture invades and pervades radios.
