The Devils Eye

The Devils Eye The devils eye is TV Broadcasting live constantly Bathing viewers in primordial light An eye that never sleeps Changing viewers into the walking dead With all the talking heads and pundits In a sewer of endless excellence Promising 24 hours a day of constant entertainment With a small collection at the end A simple fee, a cost for something trivial and lost Reasonable compensation for time well spent Chasing channels, surfing without end, searching for the perfect event Sex, violence and immortality The devils light, the devils eye, is always on TV watches you. It’s watching you expire It never sleeps Always there to serve you as the master On with the show! The show must go on! You can’t stop watching uncensored things Or be concerned with constant caustic interruptions while you sleep Devils eye rolls to eternity with souls in tow A road less traveled is the one between the sofa and TV set Remote controls resolved that tedious choir Work is wrong for couch potatoes to perform What could a demonic eye crave more? Down to the last commercial Credits running unknown names Etched on graves are questions posed by game show hosts Including; what’s behind door number two and to tell the truth Never worry about being bored The devils eye has your number and knows the score
