Electravision Mantra

Electra mouths are moving
Rows of perfect teeth
Communication mantra
Now shown on Death TV
Planes that fall out of the sky
With soundless bodies and sightless eyes
What and when and where they died
Sometimes how but never why
Because
It might confuse us
And the truth
Must be entertaining
Fluorescent yellow choking
Smoke envelopes me
My house fills with paralysis
And impotency
Ships ans rockets and guns and tanks
Never tells me how to thank
Not the Russian or the Yanks
The International World Bank
Surprise
They hold the mortgage
On the world
O please don’t evict us

Information
Merges endlessly
Ninety dead to celebrate
The Bicentenary
Cleared the forest, sold the coast
Homeless children, thicker toast
Perfect match now here’s your host
Tell me which one matters most
Perhaps
If our late night guru
Isn’t sure
We can all watch Neighbours
It has a certain
Opaque transparency
A word from our sponsor re:
Sponsorbility
Rainbow Warrior led the rest
To stop the French Pacific tests
The murder got a lot of press
I liked the mini series best
Althought
It was kind of depressing
It was good
How they all spoke English
