Media Manipulation (Part Ii) Poem by Michael Fischer

Historic words of wisdom,
distorted by absent minds,
have led to our generation’s
incognizant demise.

Abstinence was romance
in a much simpler time.
The free loving blackguards
were the ones ostracized.

Today the media wizards
tell you to wrap it tight.
Relations are optional;
It can last for one night.

Drunkenness was barbaric
in a much simpler time.
Drunks were alcoholics;
It was foolish and out of line.

Today the media wizards
tell you to call a taxi.
It’s a frat boy’s glorified night
when one says “drinks are on me! ”
