How Often Do Films Lie?

In the analogue era they lied
twenty four times per second.
In the digital era they lie so fast
that the human mind cannot count
the rate of deceit, and gives up trying.

Yesterday I Voted

'because I thought I should',
and to keep somebody out of office.
I tried to be uninfluenced by the press.
On seeing the results I realized
that what I'd done had made me
as useful as a zombie at a funeral.

The Definition Of 'Democracy',

as led by post-modern capitalism; 
The blind bleeding the blighted.

Liquid Similes

Between the empty glass of hope
and the sinkhole in my unconscious
I think I have a problem with drainage.

Signs Of Greater Age (24)

1-thinking everything you see today
is expensive because yesteryears prices
made a far stronger impression on you
than how you recollect recent times.

2-going the the cinema on spec
but leaving more quickly than previous
when you find the violence more gratuitous
and unpleasant than you found comparable films
when younger. Forgetting that you, like others,
enjoyed depictions of violence because you were young.
But the money spent discovering  the sensitivity of maturity,
for leaving the cinema, is still money well spent.
