Poem: Misunderstanding, Fear, Hysteria, Phobia, Paranoia is what they're Branding

The Pretentious News Reporter says....

Thank you for tuning in to Channel Seven your first local station bringing you non stop coverage of Tropical Depression Supresdem, we'll be tracking this storm for you live for the next six days until it potentially ravages our home land.


The poet elaborates...

The media reported a state of hysteria
Psychology's guaranteed job security
Pharmaceutical companies getting rich off the locals
White people shopping, black people looting,
Come on Kanye are you kidding
Forget the bariers the news disease has all races as carriers
Phobic is average, severe is manic
Popping pills as common as shopping in Beverly Hills

Tropical storms putting fear in little ones
Cones of destruction causing panic over construction
The wind blown reporter affirms disaster
Weeks of photography ingrained in my memory
And finally interviews with the victimized family
And finally millionaires act like they care,
Sing a song on the TV, ask you and I to give money
Once again our country has overcome the enemy
Hooray, hooray, oh, oh, I ran out of my pills yesterday

The media reported a state of hysteria
Psychology's guaranteed job security
Pharmaceutical companies getting rich off the locals
And all the while the powerful are successful
Our economy survives cause we fear our whole lives

The Pretentious News Reporter closes...

Good night and safe dreams
