Hey: what do you think of this: now I haven't written for a while, so don't laugh if you think it's pants! Just be honest [i.e. nice ones smiley - winkeye]
Thank'e

Media
Media: a world of "should-be's", "have-to's" and "needs-be's",
A pill sugar coated to hide it's barbs.
A troupe of perfect dancers, in form and shape,
Where those that rebel still manage to keep in step,
wearing their skins of sheep.

A view so distorted, on of ever-striving yet never achieving,
Newly improved, better quality, lower priced purely generic:
Pre-packaged, no assembly, or though necessary.
Of ever increasing standards, where the future is an 'improvement' of the past.

Voices urge you to be
Powerless, accept the current order, build foundations on shifting sands,
live a life filled with polystyrene packing, a society of actions, not words: 'Just Do It'.
