"Puppets" Poem
Puppets
I work in a news station
Might sound like fun
But to deliver information for a nation
You need to remix and rerun
Re-fix, and rephrase then remake and refund
Redo, and retake then repeat until you're done
So I start my show like any ordinary man
I seem friendly to my audience then give out plan
But I can't say it like it is, they don't want what is true
So, I lay out the headlines with a little tweak or two
So there was this guy that shot people in the mall
He was trying to shoplift, he had a gun, he was tall
He was bulk, he was strong, he is arrested for his attack
Oh by the way, did i mention he was black?
I mean we can focus on the people who lost their lives in this hit
I mean they were innocent and stuff but will that really get clicks?
Let's look at the killer, at his color, at his race
At his region, at his home, at his family, at his face
I mean the bullet is shot and we blame the arms dealer
I mean a pope just dies and we blame the grim reaper
That might sound stupid but that's what you believe
So let me move on to my next head line please
It says here there are protests because the lives of the blacks
I mean how dumb are these people, protesting without masks?
This act is so arrogant, what, are they forgetting?
Because while they are having fun, the virus is spreading
I mean i can talk about the cause, or give news that are legit.
I can give reason for their actions but will that really get clicks?
I mean that's why you watch me, you are too selfish to see
That no one agrees with you which led you to me
As I said, job is fun, but creativity is number one
So why blame the minority when you can just point a gun
I mean Let's make a problem that isn't what it seems
Because that is my job, create conspiracies out of schemes
Create scams out of streams, create scandals out of memes
Cause I am the master and you are my figurines
I have the money to finance, I have slaves that are fans
So, I puppet with your minds cause you gave me the chance
