Goin Viral

Is  it   an  affection  for  depiction?

Nuanced  culture  is  fed   minute  by  minute  descriptions

Prescribed  by  a  need  to  experience  others’ affliction

Constricted  news  by  implanting  contradicting  views

As  we  all  become  closer  by   being   tuned  up  and   in 


Some  call  it  a  dawn  to  that  long  awaited  new  day

Promised  in  folklore  of  daze  to  come,  being  a  better  reign

Forecasts  report   on  crowds  gathered  instead  of  storm  clouds

How  Now?  
By  the  last  minute  of  every  hour   some  gain  power

While  most  are devoured  by  the  play  by  play  of  the  latest  charade


Quickening  reactions  reported  as  facts  before  thought  can  ascertain

Deftly  conveyed  by  the  sleight  of  fingers  to  hands   that  flash  mob  signs

Behind  the  movement  is  an  addiction  for  experimenting   on  human  conditions

Infecting  masses  in  actions  proliferating  faster  than  one  can  sneeze  or  bless  you!

Who  Knew? 
 We  all  do,  according  to  the  latest  polls  reporting  programming

Well  Received 
 means  we  all  gonna  catch  a  drift,  a  wiff  
or  sniff  of  what  is  spreading

Asymptomatic  is  how   the  latest  contagion  moves  from  scenes  on  screens,

To  that  eye  that   exists  inbetween   the  two  eyes  unseen……


Sick  with  it  and  oft  times  sick  without  it

Conditions  and  temperatures  are  just  right  

Plights  showcased  and  struggles  exploited

No  difference  is  made  yet  folks  keep  exhorting

Televised  episodes  of  anarchy………

The  Revolution   must  have  done  gone  and  went  VIRAL?????

With fewer than a handful of media outlets not "in pocket," wonder if we (masses) can ever receive a real, mobilizing wake-up call.

Thanks my brother, not even sure if its one "broad" cast media outlet that isn't towing company line....they have no choice....wake call has been and will always come from within....PEACE
