protecting the public

protecting the public

A Poem by delapruch
"

na.

"

when M.I.A flipped off the

world while performing at the superbowl,

folks at the FCC gasped &

talk of preserving the integrity of the

show has now been discussed,

as if there is no higher level of cultural

achievement

(therefore, needing to be preserved in amber

to pass on to generations)

than to strut around

smack dab in between a bunch of muscle men

slamming their heads together while

running around after a little leather ball---

we, the public, need to be protected,

says the FCC,

who desperately tries to keep a few channels on the television

from being polluted with

the realities that exist in the world in which we

actually live---

their motive, as in all modes of relentless attempts at

censorship,

is to create some kind of fantasy world for “the children”---

what child grows up healthy in such a place,

where they never experience any contrary ideas than what

their parents, church, government or school

might thrust down their throats,

until they are considered adults?

what adults walk the earth,

having never come across anything deemed

“profane?”

 

rather than the FCC & the like

trying to protect us from the realities of ourselves,

we should protect ourselves

from those that try & pretend

as if we were not “vulgar”---

the most vulgar of performers in the world

are those that do their best to hide what really is

happening.
