Dead Channels, No Static at All
Saccharine or Splenda radio symphonettes
aural button click that allows delusion
to spread like mushrooms across
the decaying forest floor
of declining minds.
Retail helps us homogenize
any form of originality
from the hottest of topics
to the land’s end. We dash
to doors to collect new stuff.
[Greed Lust Sloth Envy]
[Pride Wrath Gluttony]
America returns
back to the basics.

The first stanza !
So well crafted wow!
This is a great poem! Standing ovation.
the land’s end and back to basics puns give the poem sweep
Great metaphor in the first stanza! Lots of touchstones here that conjures images in my 60-something mind. Good job.
Thought provoking poem!
I love your style and word choices–fresh and stimulating.
I love this so much!
