No Mental Effort

So we're still in our teething stages As far as politics are concerned That's fine coming from someone To whom sensationalism be there only wisdom in words. A self-proclaimed spokesman On something to which prior knowledge excedes, Championing no more censorship, Then ridiculing our beliefs. To appeal to your better nature, Are we to keep our mouths shut? Easy to discard Constructive power At your disposal When ego's and sales Outbalance opinions On the scales. Using bands As pawns in your hands Building up, Knocking down, Sensationalize To suit cheap public demand. Merging with the gutter press, You claim to detest. It's opened it's lid, For you to crawl in and infest.
