Media Circus

24X7 they serve it sassy and sensational
With mind numbing details on air forever
Packaging is slick, yet quiet superficial
Bespectacled presenters talking in high-pitched tenor

They talk of corrupt and colorful political theatre
They talk of rising crime and deteriorating weather
They talk of popular entertainment and haute couture
They talk of market mayhem and dismal dollar

While they talk, they never talk alone
There are all sorts of jugglers and the clowns
So called experts-on-everything opining in cutting edge tone
Discussing passionately with enlightened arrogance and fake frowns

They discuss country and its shining future
They discuss the emerging new world order
They discuss the global war on terror
They discuss widening gap between rich and poor

An awful lot to talk and awful lot to discuss
But you never get bored because they never really focus
They strictly follow eyeballs and its ever-changing locus
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the great Indian media circus
