WILLINGLY DREAMING WHILE THE EARTH BURNS




unfamous pop-tarts
are herded
needy and bleating
as
guilty sacrifice lambs 
thru
sat night soft gladiator pre-praise
all
wanting it SO much
and
pumped up to unreal heights with steroid-fame 
they
cry
into
presenters shoulders
when
its
all
taken
away
by a premium rate revenue stream

theyre launched 
into a B-strand residue 
of morning tv
cheap weeklys exclusives
their five minute faces
filling
up
newspapers
instead
of
the murder murder murder
of
bees
earth
and
us
