Mealybugs and Media

Except from, Bugs in the System

Mealybugs, masters of masked misdeeds,

Mingle in places where whispers mislead.

Media's maneuvers, a maelstrom of might,

Many politicians lurk in murky moonlight.

Mealybugs mimic, in silence they move,

Masters of secrets, in shadows they groove.

Media's maze, a mischievous waltz,

Marvelous maneuvers with muted assaults.

Mealybugs, elusive, in the murk they meld,

Machinations masked, truths they repel.

Media's mirage, a misleading display,

Members march in a late midnight melee.

Mealybugs mirror the media's maze,

Many try to maneuver in a muted craze.

Murmurs of truths in this murky moor,

Mealybugs, —media —to much manure.
