Distorted radio for distorted voices
Dean Traylor
A hateful, little man,
given the mic,
screams at the world,
lambasting those
he dislikes,
name calling those
he loathes.
***
Tinfoil warrior
poisons the mind
with flat-Earth theories
and snake-oil
vitamins
he’s hawking for a fortune…
Or two.
***
They yell and scream
about some socialist regime,
while having fascist dreams.
***
All the while, there are those
that cling to their words
Ready to go.
Ready to act
upon the words
of these cons.
***
These distorted voices,
flooding the airwaves
with vile and hate,
mixed in with
nonsense.
***
All the while,
their minions are
clawing for more
to affirm nefarious truths
they possess.
***
The mess these voices
have brought:
distrust,
hate,
fear.
***
How will this end?
***
It can
when these minions
wake up from the delusional
drivel these voices push.
***
And turn off that radio.
Turn off that podcast
and let that poison die
in the white noise of
radio static.
