Switch of the Telly

Switch off the telly
Calm the nerves in your belly
Release the stress from your head
Don't worry about what they said
Accepting ourselves though there are things we lack
To have a purpose and give something back
To be accepting of others our sisters and brothers
It's to share warmth and laughter, that's what we're all after
Breathe in the fresh cut grass, don't worry about the size of your ****.
Soak up the sunshine, feel it warm your bones
We will survive five minutes without our phone's.
Kick back and relax in your fuzzy socks and crocs,
I'll do the dinner, mashed potato and lamb chops?

Well executed piece, no reading between the lines necessary. Children actually survive without it better than most adults. Like your writing style, will look at more of your work. Best regards David in NZ

I know many who don't own a telly or smartphone and are better off for it. Tom
