Swine 08:37
Dragged through the dirt Like pigs to slaughter All for a story No thought to fallout Or will to resist An unending cycle of hearsay Regurgitating disinformation And what has been achieved? The crushing of a family's life Suited to the motive Boundless intrusion of privacy How long must this last? Covered in dirt Perpetual motion, ceaseless Fickle to suit the trend No news, just a gossip column Behold your font of ignorance Contrive to paint a shocking picture Of those trodden underfoot No principle remaining Nor an end in sight

Axiom 04:03
A new day, once again Staring into the lifeless lens A formal face Speaks the blights of the world The sirens start wailing Fear leads and it sells Their lights flicker brightly Scrambling for another morsel The road ahead closing Watch as the vultures circle Armed men soon imposing Ready to strike, as privacy dies A new life of cajoling And their words for controlling Watch as the vultures circle Ready to strike, as privacy dies Take your tips from the hype men Parsing truth from artful script Money dictates every sentence Nourish our craving for idle gossip Through the web words spread like a plague Sprawling mess to decipher The lights and sirens Signalling this road’s closure In a world that we’re learning Mankind’s hope bares little fruit The facts are depressing The calling is dying

For all the love in the world There is not enough to go around Our better nature heralded Yet too often left wanting Favour to the fight Us versus them So many with an agenda And a will to be heard Construct your narratives Around the edges of truth And tempt us with wilful outrage An existence in absolutes Without shades of grey No sense of nuance Detached from the world as it is Prepare your stance on the moral high ground For it is slippery land to claim As one reaches the pinnacle Many lie ready to depose A cliche with no end Supping from the same trough A grossly incandescent shrine to mendacity That you swell with pride Assured of your solutions Ignore that there is no hope of instinctual change No hope, no change The death of news lies before us All artifice Shallow and phoney Guilty of what you preach against Merely an opposition gospel NO HOPE. NO CHANGE.
