Establishment Stooges

Every day and every night they shine With pellucid, patriotic light. Pulled by strings; governed by the divine. They boldly proclaim that might is right. They proliferate in the crude press. They are prone to spouting platitudes Across social media; across The tainted items of mainstream news. As for me I tend to switch channels, For they're vile of tongue & slow of wit. They perform like circus animals. I've no time time for their games & gimmicks Across the crinkled airwaves I hear The febrile, rabid skeleton chants Of bought talk show hosts rehashing fear. Even sports reports are full of cant. I anticipate that things will get Even worse as time speeds quickly by. Better take some Prozac and forget, As Truth submits to hearsay & lies.
