modern witches of endor
We want to believe
The news we want to believe
To make our experience less stressful
Conjurers dressed in easy viewing blue
Ask us to call them by first names
Hi ya Diane Morning Katie Hello Charlie Evening Wolfe
Their smiles or seriousness flashed on cue-cards
Before our eyes
It is primetime news time all the time
So these crisp heads of continuously talking cabbage
Are our mediums for this electronic age
Speaking slowly
In no more than two syllable words
Hexadecasyllables are only for the ears of G-d
Pronouncing gossip as if it were holy writ
Interchangeable scripted seers inflame our souls
Psychotic schoolyard slaughter - close ups on faces please
Airline disaster - video montage of burning debris and bodies
Child molestation is guaranteed to boost ratings share
How will the lead go?
How to titillate and captivate with the proper tease?
How to pander to our basest needs and desires?
Necromancers now summon future and past
On magnetic tape cartridges
Everything is instant everything is now
Hurricane produces inaction/incompetence in New Orleans
Dubrovnic is as close as next door or the next moment
Apartment fire in Hong Kong feel the flames
Playing boys injured by land mines in Zaire
At college boy tasered for daring too question John‘the-Fraud’
We are caught up in the world's cataclysm
While Sadam Hussein makes his pilgrimage to Graceland
And Monica Lewinsky vows to yet prove her love
And Charlie thinks the Amish are so cute in their costumes
Looking through green vision goggles for new MiddleEast peace
“I did not have sex with that Lewinsky woman” pledges a pol
While a senator plays toe-tapping games in an airport bathroom stall
On this same channel
Everything is live or seems to be
With more details to come
Mistaken prophets set to air
Asking us to call them on a first name basis
Hi ya Diane Morning Katie Hello Charlie check out Larry
Because we want to believe what we want to believe
Words echo in the vacuum of our minds.
