A daily occurrence, casual, so known,
Words to paper, tossed, decided, now thrown,
Every thought, every word, every line, every lie,
They take reality, distort, manipulate, to question, they try,
I have seen, and I have read,
I've in everything that they had once said,
A date, a title, a name often seen,
Of all that was once was, all that has been,
Notes, opinion, discussion of ones own mind,
Passed on through his own, to others of his kind,
Where is the truth in this.
On screens, of beams, once only a cast,
Tomorrow forgotten, disregarded, without last,
The world around, a fight, a fire,
A passion of war, an unceasing desire,
The youth are here, they witness your strife,
Breathlessly waiting, And of you to take life,
Where is the truth in this.
You see, this is to me,
I am but one, I am one son,
I know it, I've seen it, I've heard it, and thought it,.. it all,
And I ask of daily forgiveness that your ambitions would fall.
Verbal defecation, Have you nothing to tell for,
Do you only hand the millions, that which they'd want more,
Where is the truth in this.
I'd ask you once more, I'd say it again,
But I am only one to you, one amoungst all men,
It would take all our voices, to say what you need heard,
I'd whisper you, I'd shout,
But you've left me with no trust, all doubt,
I say it once more, asking for your ears,
Let's help that which will for it, let's dry the worlds tear's,
And I ask of you, you are the hearer,
I need it known to you, made ever clearer,
Where, Where is the truth in this.

Description:
The Media's mission.
I wrote this poem recently, within the last month... It's about all the lies fed to us through the media, the subliminal messaging and the images and words that poison our minds and kill our imaginations. Enjoy... and please leave a comment/rating.
If you enjoyed this, please also see my poem 'My Friend Fate' that I have uploaded on Gaia. - Date: 11/03/2008

I dunno... just the vibe's I'm getting. - Report As Spam

Mhmmm... Alright, refreshing is always good =]
Thank you,
Mhmmm... Poetry can be about anything and everything, I'm tired of love-sick emo's writing their poems and killing the imagination outside of self-pity. Thanks again - Report As Spam

Refreshing. I think that's all that needs to be said about this.
Like NakedJack said, it's nice to finally see a poem that isn't about love, or about a teenager trying to pass some petty breakup as moral guidance.
Bravo! 5/5 - Report As Spam

- Hey... Thanks again, this was written with a seemingly general opinion in mind, true... love may be something, but love is nothing without honesty, trust, understanding and learning.

- Brilliant, I enjoyed reading this and feel for the same cause you have written about. So refreshing to not read a love poem......John Lennon said all we need is love but I don't think that is what he meant. The rhythm you created is wonderful.
