Information...
is it dissemination
or confrontation
of the truth behind the lies?
They pull it, stretch it
knead it, shape it
into something
for you to believe
D'oh! We believe
in what we see
and miss out
on little but evident clues
Like doe, we run away from grasslands
towards shady woods of alternate media
pulled, stretched
kneaded
shaped
dough – our reality
something they play with.
"If you don't trust media (you may be right to, but then), how do you trust alternate media?" ~ Just a thought, I'm not here to challenge anything, but I'd like to learn.

Background on the theme: I opened my book shelf and while my eyes traversed over The Afghan, Go Set A Watchman, Mastery and Candide, my hands quickly reached out for The Cooking Book by Jane Bull. I realized it was because I secretly did not want my piece to be influenced by the book, but only by the theme. Who would've thought Play Dough would inspire such a poem! I'm actually a little proud of this one. Oh, modesty's taking a shower right now...let's not disturb him, yea? :P
