Tv
Television’s unblinking eye
is mesmerizing us,
addicting, time wasting, unhealthy
why is no one making a fuss?
I guess because we love it
entertaining us all,
setting us up with frivolity
before we take the fall.
Despite it’s informative content
it isolates each one,
sitting alone to watch the tube
thinking we’re having fun.
Sated with others opinions
molding us big brother’s way,
leading us into submission
deeper every day.
There is nothing for us to do
just sit right there and enjoy,
the broadcasters have some clever people
deviously in their employ.
Spoon fed mindless pap
till we don’t know right from wrong,
led by the nose to the fleecing
amid the unsuspecting throng.
