These people don’t read… damn
Comprehending less than
A dyslexic man
Too many paragraphs, lines
Words, letters… too obtuse
What a sorry excuse
These people don’t read… damn
Sound bites and twitter tweets
Speak to common fans
Rather look at pictures,
Airbrushed to a tee
Then force-fed fixtures
These people don’t read… damn
So this will be shorter
Than their attention spans
These people don’t read
Too feeble to perceive
These people don’t read… DAMN
I like this but don’t understand the force-fed fixtures part. Thinking that video games belong in there somewhere also.
Greetings Tammy,
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
With regards to the ‘force-fed fixtures’ line, I was alluding to the manufactured imagery that has become common place.
‘Force-fed’ is pretty much self explanatory, while ‘fixtures’ refers to the gimmick/falseness of it all. In other words, the visuals are contrived.
