A Not So Difficult American Riddle

by Nicole Terry

 

though IT tries to confuse you

in ITs world it's live by ITs rules

moral standards for your mind to choose

choose well because you will be tested for ever

fit into ITs mold and ITs got you

you must think as IT will have you do

IT’s crazy but still IT is not enough

those headaches you feel are mtv madness

I bet you like those videos:

perfect little handsome commercial products

buy and sell your persona and soul

are you aware how much you are told

by puppet wizards with hands in their butts

here gold is measured in countries

dollars are valued in golden nations

somehow the debt keeps amounting

and the news reports the people agree

their servitude for the progression of public apathy

black white brown yellow ITs all obscene

you don't care you play your role

compete for your right to be civil

you've assumed your evil as living

and convinced you're the master gene

instead you're merely encoded

in the equation program called H.U.M.A.N.I.T.Y.

you're not as great as you seem

you're a typical robot spitting out mp3s

with the ringing of your labor bell

the ring around your boxed-in self

the spinning of your carousel

powered by a mass of imbeciles

marching to the piped in spell

you've driven the rest of us into consumption hell.

can not one of you get IT right?

your High-Definition, Plasma, Picture-in-Picture, Flat-screen,

Satellite Digital Cable, American TV MADE IN CHINA
