A Poem about the Media in all its ultra-negative glory.
In Other News…
I see a young boy dying, trapped under the rubble of his home as a million tons of American ordnance explodes overhead.
I see an old man dying, countless tubes sticking from his chest, the sound of his respirator drowning out his thoughts. His family is too busy to visit him.
I see a soldier dying, his consciousness slowly fading as his blood pours out of him. Memories of a better life back home fade to black.
I see a teenager dying, a victim of a liquor soaked midnight bash gone wrong. She looks at her wrecked car sitting on the shoulder of the highway as the paramedics start to zip up her body bag.
I see a species dying, being driven under by everything ranging from habitat destruction to excessive hunting for pelts.
I see a company dying, a once prosperous business gone, leaving nothing behind but a hollowed out corporate headquarters and jobless employees.
I see reason dying, being replaced by dogma, blind faith, ignorance and hatred.
I see a nation dying, being slowly smothered to death by its own people in a frenzy of profit driven, ADD fueled consumerism.
I see individualism dying, names, faces and achievements being replaced by numbers and statistics, soulless as people that coined them.
I see an environment dying, slowly but surely being choked to death by toxins and smog as it is denuded of life.
I see humanity dying, in retrospect, just another savage, hairless ape walking the earth without rhyme or reason.
I see the planet dying, are we not after all, just pathetically insignificant specks in the Universe?
