night of the spin-bots

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

or seems to be
Orwell spinning in his grave

"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.

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...
