Tv Glows

Noise around my ears nonsense to my brain time wastes away like a cancerous lesion consumes its host the TV glows I stare without a care hard on myself for perceived wrongs Many wrongs repeat in this flashing memory the TV glows A dog barks and a child laughs the grass grows and needs a mow the TV glows No one knows

very very interesting write, Doris. We only watch the ten oclock news and I'm getting to think that's a bit too much. point well taken.

Interesting that tv would trigger a thought that would get you down and be negative about yourself..Tv is suppose to erase stress..Good idea for a write..The one-eyed flying purple people eater is a conglomeration of men..Mom

Television, the great mind-programmer. "T.V. glows", but about 95% of the stuff is crap. I don't quite know what you had in mind with this one, Doris, but it is thought provoking. Dave

Yep, thats the way it glows. Thanks for the comment. Yes, that exactly the way they see me also, uncaring, they say when actually I care deeply. I think I have learn to cop with this a little better now though, because people are not as bad to say this any more. Agape, Moses
