Top Frame to _Post-Democracy_ - an graphic manipulation by T Newfields

Post-Democracy


There never was an election . . .
only a democratic facade

No candidates were present –
just mannequins doing certain jobs

The whole thing was manipulation –
brain-washing turned to subliminal art

The best way to kill democracy
is to manipulate it so smoothly

no one notices
the sham

When action and words
become far enough apart

trust becomes a 10-second phenomena:
a mere commodity
at a mart

Terri: Pretty cynical, eh?
Tim: It's tempting to be that way. Nearly every American is the victim of massive disinformation,
and we all have blood on our hands.
Kris: Shucks! I don't wanna think 'bout this. It'z too damn depressin'!
Sam: Don't worry – the people in office don't want you to think about it either.
