Media Control

Media Control

From who you vote into government 
To the colour of your hair you dye
Media control 
It's mostly a lie

You think you're a free thinker
Your life content and complete?
Free from media control?
Take a look at the Nikes on your feet! 

Adverts and click bait for your average web sufer
Being a PR guru in today’s society is a big money earner

Your thoughts aren't independent 
Your choices far from unique
Every decision you make is influenced by the elite

The TV and tabloiods are where lies are often told
The truth is bent at the recipients expense
The media contols what we see and hear and how we interpret events

A constant bombardment of messages
Both conscious and subliminal
Trust you're gut instinct
It pays to be cynical

Even as I write this now, lies are under construction 
Propeganda to feed the war machine
Taxes to finance weapons of mass destruction

Unless you're willing to live off the grid
Or in the rain forest in exile
There is no escaping media control
Resistance is futile

You may think you choose to ignore the information that enters your head
However it is stored in your subconscious instead
 
So you'l think like they want you to
Pay a heavy price for the lies you are sold
It's all in the fine print
Media control 

(Influenced by Noam Chomskys' - Media control)

Hello again Syd, I absolutely loved this one. Media control it's absolutely every where. We definitely see eye to eye on this one.

You're welcome. Yes I agree most people are blinded by ignorance these days, and too stubborn to open their eyes. Most people want to believe what the media tells them, because that's the easy thing to do. I look forward to reading more from you as well. :)

Yeah you're exactly right Danielle, it's the soft option. That's why I prefer to read books as to watch soaps or reality TV. Reality TV is the antI christ in my opinion lol  (although I'm not religious, bit you get what I mean). That's a topic for another day. It's been nice to chat - Syd
