CITIZEN/SLAVE: A poem by Vanessa Bronson

Last updated: January 27th, 2019

Citizen/Slave


Judicial System
Blood vs. Wisdom
Show me vanity
Plead insanity
Disingenuous me
Rea-L-ity T.V.

Fifteen minutes of fame
Downward spiral of shame
Text me
Sext me
Match.com, not
Facebook me
So I can look hot, like Maxim hot

Tweet this
Update that
Check me in, Celebrity
Follow me, TMZ
Degrading fabulosity

Tax me
Rape me
Unemployment, debt
Occupy Wallstreet
I need m$ney for rent

Televised hate
Disenfranchised state
ObeseMcDonaldsLethargy
Sell our children
UnderagePornography

Silicone, collagen
Toddlers and Tiaras
Megalomania
Undivided hysteria

Got the blues watchin’ the news

Baby boomers, college degrees
Mortgage payments
Entitlement:
Generation XYZ

Big Brother watch us
Rise above all the injustice

Love. Hope.
