Reality Check

She says I don't love you anymore He laughs, turns, and shouts “I already changed the lock on the door You have been evicted, get out!” The audience bates their breath A collective inhale from the smoking mess The man looks into the camera now “Join us after the break” What good ratings this does make Protect your home, dog, and car! Come try out the new Jaguar! Be sure to catch the latest news! (And listen to their biased views) But most of all do be certain to draw close the Digital Curtain! Bringing you the latest wars, famine and a rapist A look at how the market grows Avoiding talk of public lows Trusting those who dress in suits condemning those who march in boots The BBC and ITV A war in mediocrity So watch manufactured laughter or talent manufactured But when you realise what your watching, save the earth, and your brain, turn off the toxin
