Devaluation
Serials, serials, serials
Dough baked and fully baked.
Homicide aplenty, poisoning, teasing and pandering--
See drowning, shooting, swindling
Be a savage.
Visuals embedded in mind exhort to emulate.
Take my breath O wind! Take my life
Bring terrible storms, bring torrential rain,
Exhort to emulate wickedness
O I am dotty, I know they mislead,
Take my brain, replace savagery.
Let me adore the charcterless people
Let my kith and kin see and imitate.
Let values go to dogs,
vices, savagery, vulgarity, come..come
Praise the serials, reality shows,
welcome the bohemian.
Distant vision thus mislead us,
Let us return to barbarism!
Dough baked and fully baked.
Homicide aplenty, poisoning, teasing and pandering--
See drowning, shooting, swindling
Be a savage.
Visuals embedded in mind exhort to emulate.
Take my breath O wind! Take my life
Bring terrible storms, bring torrential rain,
Exhort to emulate wickedness
O I am dotty, I know they mislead,
Take my brain, replace savagery.
Let me adore the charcterless people
Let my kith and kin see and imitate.
Let values go to dogs,
vices, savagery, vulgarity, come..come
Praise the serials, reality shows,
welcome the bohemian.
Distant vision thus mislead us,
Let us return to barbarism!
