night of the spin-bots

Post by mnaz » April 7th, 2011, 4:38 pm

we, the electric impulse
circuit in the echo chamber
in order to light up when switched
will repeat codes on memory chips
credos, religions and wars, oh my
one after another, ratta tat tatta
staccata, tomatta, innagidadavat-ta
into your tissues of belief, your
cells of truth, secret handshake
earth-quake, work the midriff
the repeating riff, the lingo
loop law hoop-la jam jingle
of single-mind, daily grind
endemic, robotic, quixotic
drugged with the blood
of a million barking heads
on a severed screen

"A media system wants ostensible diversity that conceals an actual uniformity"

Spin-bot bimbos are so gorgeous.

I could have been a spin bot too.

feel ya- love this write-
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

thanks dino, jack, snowman, creative, judih and steve...

"spin bot" is inspired by someone on another site. obviously the major media is untrustworthy to a large degree. but then i remembered a story i heard recently about paid callers to talk shows (to recite official talking points as "opinion"), and possibly even paid hackers invading discussion forums (though that seems far-fetched.... or does it?...) hmm.. yeah, maybe i can borrow a mike, lay the groooove down. tomato, tomatto...
