The cult of gore kicks and swells,
dishes us morsels of murderous ways,
holds us glued to breaking news.
Violence lures and, of course,
sex in the mix. All is vanity,
all is bait and ratings.
It's okay. We like to think we live as far from violence
as we can get. Not as far from sex
as we should.
And now a word from our sponsors,
who purpose us the surest path to happiness:
Toilet paper that is softest;
appliances to solve stickier problems;
reassurance political and otherwise.
All is necessity... soo the sponsors would have us think.
The Occupiers would be more effective
if they could successfully organize
a boycott of everything.
