Ignorance is Bliss
By MABUS
Subliminal messages
In my head
Radio waves
Sweeping the nation
Media advertisment
Controlling the youth
Billboard signs
Neon lights
Overwelming messages
Of corporate businesses
We are not a nation
Of democracy
We are a nation of
Sitcoms and playstations
We are controlled
Through entertainment
We hide from the
Truth
In our fancy apartments
And technological gadgets
We don't care
As long as we are entertained
In our nation today
Ignorance is truly bliss
We are desappointed and sad
If our favorite T.V. show is cancelled
Yet we are indifferent
Tword starvation and illiteracy
We laugh at the homeless guy
And cry over a broken DVD player
We have truly lost
Morals and humanity
We have abandoned all morals
For self desires
And become the slaves
The government desires

i think you attempted some type of structure, but you didn't really follow it through out. other than that, i really like the content, and totally agree. ^Autumn^
