Shameless Craze



Shameless.
Limitless without a bottom to it.
Is today's display,
Of a decadent craze.
Created and made to accept as normal.

From what is sold on TV shows.
Movies and take home videos.
The visuals are there and clearly enhanced.
While many romance,
A turning over their souls...
For hours of imitating,
And worshipping the destruction...
Following this done,
By their favorite fictioned heros.
Masked and caped to invite minds an escape.

Shameless is the craze.
Marketed to advance mental instabilities.
And yet...
This connection to refuse,
Has anything to do...
With the increase diminishing of a way of life.
And truth to delude,
As an entitled birthright.
Day and night to defend.
Has long been overlooked,
For a much needed self examining...
Of a lack of common sense to use,
By those blaming to claim...
Conflict, division, bigotry and racism,
Has resulted from ethnic diversity.
Experienced...
From watching TV, MOVIES and MUSIC,
Accompanied by VIDEOS in high-def!

'All this violence, hatred and crime.
Where is it coming from?
Is there no end to it?'

'Try taking drugs away from an addict!
The beer the wine,
Gin, whiskey and vodka.
Nicotine and weed.

And then...
Arrest all the pushers,
From every aspect...
Where these drugs are sold.
Professionally prescribed or not.
Generic, over or under the table.
To then blind fold yourself.
With a doing next to cut the cable cord.'
