The boy who cries wolf

oh! media:
TV, commercials, billboards, news:
why do you cry wolf!

Y2k scarred the heck out of me
or did you plant the seed of fear
in my the dirt of my mind
and water it, let the water slowly trickle
out of the can until the ball dropped...
and nothing happened.

you cry wolf once a year, once a month, once a week, once a day!

first the birds carried the virus
now the swine: H1N1.
I never thought i would live past the SARS scare!

China's trying kill our kids with lead in their crayons!
don't let your kids go to school, or they'll die!
if they are near a crayon, lead will seep into their
skin and poison their systems, ravaging their bodies
and rendering them useless.
at that point, you might as well have aborted them before the whole ordeal.

Halloween, what a night!
somebody (probably a black guy) slipped a razor blade into
my son's m and m. He ate one, and cut his tongue and DIED.
don't let your kids trick or treat
or the razor bladers will put a trick into their treat
and they'll be dead before you know it.

you cry wolf at harvest, during winter, under the sun, in the spring.

the drug cartels will invade america! don't go to mexico.
are we always coming up with reasons to stay away from mexico:
drug cartels, swine flu, mexicans? what could be worse
than a mexican drug kingpin sitting on a toilet
crapping his guts out because he has swine flu?
maybe they should build that wall. at least then
they could keep the mexicans out.

Marylin Manson will eat your children.
they'll discover his black and white makeup on your kid's face
in the alley after midnight. you shouldn't have let them out,
you know that nothing good happens after midnight.
Manson's music will make your kids eat babies and sell their souls to the devil.
I thought we had grace to redeem people from stuff like that....

the economic crisis will swallow america with its parasitic teeth.
it will be worse than the depression, worse than death. In fact
if we don't do something fast, we'll all die, or worse, we'll all
be poor and then we'll be forced to rely on other people! anything but that!

COPS. can we get a few more shirtless black guys running from white policemen?
i don't think so. Can we delineate racial behavior anymore? i don't think so.
can we make the issue anymore black and white? i don't think so.
European bees versus killer africanized bees. Yeah, that's what i thought.
Don't worry white america, they're not the killer hoard you make them out to be.
they're actually pretty nice. should i be calling them "they?"

maybe at one point, there was a real wolf, i'm not sure. but nobody's seen one other than you for quite some time.
you cry wolf (as you have many times before), but your screams fall on dead ears. too bad i'm the only deaf one.
