Children Of Limited Attention Spans

Children Of Limited Attention Spans

I am
too easily influenced
by random stimuli
that penetrates my eyes
like an unwanted guest
who won't ever seem to leave

I am
the target audience
of late night shysters
offering slick solutions
to my persistent life problems
for the bargain price
of $19.99
(shipping fees not included)

i am
dropped from the litter
of the tribe of bastard children
born from the snarling bitch
soullessĀ economists
classify as rampant
mindless consumerism
now spilled over
into the modern electorate

i am
part of the rotting remnants
that was the body politic
so easily manipulated
by nerdy data miners
who anticipate our every need
after they plant the thought seeds
to be future focus group harvested

i am
a soldier in the zombie army
the snarling majority
coming to overwhelm
and conquer what's left
of the feeble resistance
who still consider themselves
free thinkers
seeking to defend
democratic traditions of the past
those once noble concepts
that could not last
