Modern Day Circus (Inspired By Guy Debord) Poem by DM W
Modern Day Circus (Inspired By Guy Debord)
Modern day circus of bright distractions:
Replete with clowns and crude celebrities
Witness the wondrous acrobatic feats
Of rhetoric and disinformation!
Witness strong men of action hero fame.
Witness jugglers replace social critics.
The Media run this multi coloured show.
Citizens are content to acquiesce.
Power is concealed. For we never get
To know the shadowy ringmaster's name.
There is still a way to break the cycle.
Simply wake up and smell the coffee!
A witty poem. MSM, the miss-info and dis-info spreaders likened to the old manure spreaders farmers pulled behind their tractors before the age of the industrial farming of poison food. Well done Dominic. Now I must look up and see who Guy Debord be.
Thjanks Michael.I highly recommend Guy.Debord's seminal book ' The Society of the Spectacle.'
