Flashing
The Neocon attack ads
Keep flashing
And the sad fucking thing is
That most Canadians
Like the rest of the world
Buy into the sound bites,
The clipped clips of video,
All that is designed to deceive,
We are so well conditioned
That when any semblance
Of truth may present itself
We don’t believe it,
We are so far removed
From our inner gifts,
Our natural instincts,
So neuterized and sterilized
That we are content to let others
Do our thinking for us,
When the woman in the corner
Lifts her skirt to reveal
Her nakedness we think
It an ad for see through
Underwear,
We nod our approvals
And carry on in our mindless
Journeys looking and hoping
To get fucked.
