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

This makes me think of a zombie apocalypse - perhaps because of the zombie stare of too much TV?
