the great hornswaggle of the known biosphere

at times
the person that runs the show
can’t stand it anymore and decides
to pull fast ones on
the viewers
like making them think they are watching something profound
when really
he has simply turned out the lights
gassed the place
and torched it
but because he wears a three-pieced suit
and smiles big and clean
and has sculpted hair
and is a favorite of the president
and gets the ratings
and brings in huge advertising revenues
he gets a bonus
for burning the studio down.
now that’s entertainment.
