The Tower or Touch of Truth: Poetic Psycho-Politico Parody
In an age of fake news, media mendacity, climate crisis denial, ever-expanding platform propaganda and conspiracy theory, as well as purposeful political deception and corruption… one has to cry out:?Wake up!?This is not a game!?Truth and reality are endangered species!?Here’s my cry!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fake news, alternative facts
What’s behind that damn mask?
When truth itself is under attack:
Government or Media:?who do you trust
With the password:?Ratings or Bust?
So, VAX or not, stolen elections
Sly as a FOX disinformation…
When did 1/6 insurrection
Become old news historical fiction?
But first, what’s our latest original sin:
Kissing the “yes, butt” of Joe Manchin
Or craving McCluhan’s distraction and din?
So, do not ask for whom the smart phones toll
Worshiping the Tower of Techno-Babel
As “3 ‘G’ Reality” becomes textual harassment:
Ghosting, Gaslighting, and Grooming… Oh, my
All is allowed in the deep web viral basement!
Alas, it’s confession time:
Who has not taken a fleshy bite
From that Siren-shiny brand-new Apple!?!
Maybe it’s back to ‘84, do pray tell
Who wins out… Steven Jobs or George Orwell?
Still, Hark the Herald Angels Sing
For a next generation Lord of the Ring

Someone to smooth over that climate thing…
(Wait… how about a holographic Rachel Carson dead celebrity roast?
The obvious theme:?Silent Earth as Way Burnt Toast!)
With so many blind with rage
Filled with “My Liberty Right or Wrong” rancor
Don’t let sneaky FOXes eat your lunch
Block that all-knowing/smug-smiling “Tucker Punch”:
A silent stare, a razor wit counter
Pops the ballooning EGO banter.
Now for that "Narcissistic Naked Emperor”
Threaten the Trump card – “Go to Me Too Jail.”
Caveat Emptor!... Just remember, whatever it takes
Take the blowhard wind from that toxic male.
And finally, a Stress Doc anchor for any age
That defies right-wing/left-brain bravura.
Even if not on the same page
Consider this Wise Man/Wise Guy Mantra:
Strive High, Embrace the Fail
Gaze into that Deep Blue Mirror
Don’t Forget – Save the Analog Whales
While Questing for the Holy Braille
Find Your True Voice Amidst the Furor!
