Illustrated Optics

Single-minded propaganda
wrapped in ribbons of rhetoric
with a fresh coat of slogan
slapped on top
While AI delivers the photos

Ads, politics, and corporate spin
vie for inundated attention spans
in a mad world of the uncaring
starved for empathy
While AI delivers the photos

Do they fiddle as the world burns?
Barking gratuitous greed and pomposity
as the new global, iconic religion
dictated in slurs
While AI delivers the photos
