Media Control Poem by DM W

Media Control



Media control is ubiquitous.
Like bacteria & beetles,
It breeds exponentially.
Images crack like whips
Over bruised retinas until we acquiesce.
The contrived colonization of concepts
Renders us blind to those who endure
The ragged indignity of occupation.
Collateral damage - is the euphemism
That covers a multitude of sins.
Digital screens mask the silent screams
With perpetual theatrical spectacles.
Artificial barriers compromise
The teeming essence of humanity.
