Media Poems - Poems about Media

Social Media influencers on the racist right said us Jews control radio and TV That we rot the roots of morality’s tree, The implication is clear; there’s no society free. One TV personality invited a guy who spouted reasons for Hitler's views As the real deal, I wonder why So much dumping on the Jews They talk of the 'noticing' -...

Constantly seeking out validation, You don’t have to know me, But I wanna be your favourite. I want you to like me so much, I hate it. Share posts or tap to follow, Get blocked and deleted, such a hard pill to swallow, The lives are so full but inside they are hollow, Love it and like it and give it a...

My muse provides me nothing with which I can get to work And so I spent an hour on Facebook… boy, am I a jerk A pointless waste of time and space and lots of stuff, all fake I should just paint a wall and watch it dry, for goodness sake There’s videos in Facebookville where you watch things...

Don’t! Don’t put your thoughts on paper Don’t dare to think out loud Don’t express on social media Don’t put them up in cloud Don’t criticize the useless Don’t voice a point of view Don’t flex your vocal cord Don’t think you’re immune Six burly officers are coming Because of something you said They crash the door early morning And they’ll tear you from your bed They’ll whisk...

In a realm once pure, where stories were shared, A new world arrived, yet no one was prepared. Young hands that once worked with skill and grace Now swipe on screens, lost in the race. They dream of fame and riches untold, But in return, their secrets are sold. A click, a share, and trust is gone- Privacy is lost as the...

Compulsions to create governed by fear and perpetual query, Where affirmations are fossil fuels, scarce and costly. Approval? Qualified? I Dangle upside-down, tethered to a rope questions. Hovering over a pit of acceptance with a bloated cranium. A pause in their scroll… The press of a gesture nibbles away the rejuvenating thread. How can a dozen feel worse than none? These...

Social media The X-twitter this morning was disappointing it consisted of 60% Musk and 40% Trump bragging about how great they are at winning the battle of saving America from the disaster of paying the poor too much and reducing medical aid to the old who must learn to fend for themselves It is...

We first met coasting the blurred lines of the information superhighway. We exchanged polite words and respectful kindness, though we seldom saw or heard each other. I am the old man of touch and eye contact, you are the princess of text and illusions. I adapt to your hot realms, to your affinity for glittering screens because past and future, old and young...

Written by Gail DeBole on January 31, 2025 Shush, it’s a Secret, Hush, Hush! Social Media could harm human trust. Seems to be on trend To post to offend and Discretion is now borderline mute. These videos/posts may not be true But it’s something to read and to do. It’s a secret, Hush, Hush! No longer means much When it comes to the bullying Untruth. There do...

Yay!! There’s snow on Science Hill. Finally - snow, I love it. Cold, I love it. Science says men evolved from apes. Maybe I evolved from polar bears or those abominable snow people —yeti—that no one can photograph. You can’t just reject that outright, say the odds are minuscule, just because it’s new and edgy. I mean, where’s your science— your unbiased, clinical perspective? We could...

Worthy upshot holds much in store yet, integrity is worth much more Worthy upshot worthy upshot would find mediacrats ending word wars for lying is moral turpitude, depravity, sin. But who...
