Commercial Break From Reality
Look-see into the Telly,
let that buy Idol Eye soil your soul
Go to sleep,
and fall deep
into the Cyclops’ belly
Allow the remote
to take rip van winkle plug control
A lower case hypnotic beam
will put your credit card
purchased dream
on a subliminal suggestion channel
Soon you’ll awaken suddenly
inside of a sales pitch tease —
So don’t be snooze alarm angry!
It's just a friendly sponsor
low cable fee,
advertisement guarantee
A paid commercial break from reality
In case of debt shock,
never pull the plug
socket hasty
Take a two-for-one offer pause,
to defibrillate the situation
Warning!! Don’t turn the On knob Off
Give a Westworld hoo-ray,
and have a
Wells Fargo
bank account robbed Chase
Every coma vay-cay
ain’t necessarily a broadcast emergency
Induced sleep zombies
simply need
a lengthy commercial shake
But, this mis-remember, please ...
If pinched purse eyes do
Reality awake
A wallet empty condition
can cause a psychotic break
