Rerun

December 15, 2020
Since I was young I was entertained by lies from censored history A regular scheduled program With a white washed perfect protagonist Of a PG -13 dramedy called complicity Respectability politics as it's theme Where major conflict meet With minuscule resolutions In the span of 28 minute Episodes That consist of 2 minute advertisements of Freedom Since I've grown Tired Of seeing syndications I've turned to streaming The Truth A thriller - horror with facts as its plot Antiheroes exposing oppression Making it X rated This show is so sickly sinister That even virgins and children die No commercials with catchy jingles of equality However each episode cost The price of humanity plus tax and fees A subscription no one should have to pay In hopes the finale ends well Because future audiences Shouldn't have to endure Reruns Nor twisted spin-offs with dangerous ambiguity
