The colosseum
By thespin
The Colosseum breathes and comes to life in our living rooms.In the white glow of it's Catacombs are filled.Lifetimes are edited mini-series viewed and watched by the masses.A got-to-have, want-to-have world.We eat, wear, and devour commercials.Feeding the treasure chests of the alphabet stations.Innocents are sacrificed on the alter of the God, Ratings.Stabbings, beatings, shootings.Are mirrored in youth's eyes, projected in their memories, and lives on their dreams.Religion sits on the throne of the cash register.Reeling in its followers. The remote is God.Dirty laundry is washed and aired and hung out for all to see.Privacy no longer exists. Family has become a joke.Talk is cheap. disappearing like Latin.Death becomes a commondity sold to the highest bidder.Execution a viewing sport. Revenge a way of life. Forgiveness a joke.God a laugh.The colosseum lives. We die. Written October 13th, 2001 © on Oct 13 2001 01:27 AM PST 0 • 9
