Everywhere

Everywhere

A Poem by Kenneth The Poet

they are everywhere,

birds that are angry,

kittens that say hello,

pictures of a woman
that makes this scribe's
current city look like a
breeding ground for
horny social climbers,

everywhere you go,

you see that visage
and you have to wonder,

is sex ever going to stop selling?

probably not,

because while pornography
is now above board,

it is still below board,

lysander spooner stated
rather famously,

vices are not crimes,

but people tend to think otherwise
and the media scum believe it wholly
and so sensational, sexualized stories of
sordidness will always sell out faster
than lectures on the intricacies
of world politics and fiscal policy,

and that might explain 
the popularity of the
angry birds,

people have to do something
to alleviate their sexual frustration
here, there and everywhere in between,

like it works it all,

sex still sells,

and the b***h on the
cover of people magazine
is going to ride that gravy train
until the day she dies,

the fate of the bismarck
is the fate of humankind

I'm quite familiar with your feelings and the title couldn't be more fitting. Kids of today are drowning in images that drive and direct their culture to a slow decline in morals. They've become insensitive and it's no wonder. Money is and always will be the driving factor sex sells so well. The invention of the home computer has made it even more available and like rats to cheese people go. It's a shame but it's a fact we must live with until something happens to change it all. Good writing.

Until the day her face dies. Then she will realise she was used even more than she used others. She will realise that having power under someone else's rules still means it's their game.

~ very scathing social commentary, monsieur... brilliantly written... the same is the case here too... it's not always as explicit as it is there... but it's there...
