Media must love watching its audience be entertained,

As its audience, we are thrilled to attend its gory, blood bath scenes filled with emotional turmoil,

We must love all those intense romance pictures with its hot, steamy bowls of passion.

Media must love watching us react to its disgusting horror pictures with [our] ghastly faces peering before it!

Media must be entertained watching its audience be entertained...

The author's comments:
I was reading the author's introduction note for the book A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess and something he had written about media sparked my attention towards the fact that if Media were a person it would entirely enjoy our reactions and readiness to accept whatever it pleases to place in front of us! Hence, this poem.
