Media – SoulSails

The Screen The screen That presence So widely seen In our homes Offices, Carried in Our hands Worldwide In every land Mobile Or desktop Laptop Servers galore In their memories They can store Anything And they do Spit out Whatever gets Put into them By us Coming thru Our hands The minds & Hearts of man That screen That influence I have seen Thick or lean Large or small Speaks & calls To us all Thru the light Of that flickering Screen Images of good Images of bad Calling our names Playing their games With everyone Angels & demons Portrayed in fantastical Images It’s really so sad Because both do exist In the midst Of the lives of man So be careful what You allow To be fed into Your mind Look for truth Elsewhere & learn to wisely turn from that Invasive Screen!

Everywhere we go today we cannot get away from the media hype(even in my gym) which surrounds us on all sides, slicing soundlessly through the air unseen. Please be careful what you expose yourself and your children to. Here’s a poem I could not stop myself from writing.

Senseless

Senseless Speech,
Buss, whir,
Chew out words.
Out in weightless air
Dead words drop lifeless
to cold, hard ground.

Careful, careful
Do not listen.
Everything is not good
In senseless speech.
Hide, do not cause your
pale ears to bleed!

Media, hype, lustful
For all money.
Beware the wrathful
Fierce fingers that search,
Dig deeply into pockets
Thinly stretched.

Guard your mind,
Here it comes.
Sensation seekers,
Senseless speech
Gets spoken to
Keep fat paychecks.

Everywhere we turn
On display on screens
Small and large.
Beware the fools, charlatans
Of senseless speech,
Guard, protect yourselves &
Run, cover the little ones.
