we are all just channels 
in the grand screen of things...

Insomnia

My hands reach for the remote control ~
to switch the off button to my brain...

All to reach
To prevail peace
Things to go under control 
What peace to reach with a remote control?...

I knew my chances we're really quite remote
in finding my remote control who left behind no note

I am sitting inside my smart TV set 
with my wireless remote control 
and I can’t seem to get my wireless remote control 
to work for me
can someone out there 
please keep on  changing the channels for me 
to something else...

It's amazing... cars now have “remote starters”
As long as they don't drive off in a premature departure
Hey, wait! You ding-a-lings
Independent damn things
We'll soon be given tickets by remote control coppers...

not so long ago
tv was not cable or a satellite dish,
it was a roof antenna
with directional remote control,
except for the cost of the set reception was free
and now, indulge or not
it's a monthly payment
for your dormant time...

remote control guns...
press finger...change channels...
death of the story...

post modern eras...
fracture the camp fires of oldt...
ten seconds per channel...

modern aggressions...
wedded to electronics...
ten seconds a watch......

I'm retired now and I'm feeling pained,
My eyesight's gone off and my hair's not regained,
My wrinkles are deeper and I've got false teeth,
Surely to Betsy there'll be some relief,
But no, only today my remote control finger got sprained....

I was the horizontal and the vertical
I was the light and dark on black and white
I was the picture flipper controler
I was the sound controller
I went up and down
I was the rabbit ears that fix the picture
I was the waiter to bring him beer...

We discover electronic machines		
                               use remote control to control them	
                                         design to avail benefit		
		                "GOD" controls us with His remote
                                            created to make fit...

When t.v. programs start to bore
I flip through the stations a little more

But which remote do I use?
There are so many from which to choose.

T.V., stereo, D.V.D. too,
Then which button? - there are quite a few

All this confusion is taking its toll
Since the remote has lost its control!...

The teacher is believed
To be an all rounder
For a record holder in education
An educator, advisor, counsellor, planner, examiner and innovator
Just like a remote control
For some nonmachinerised, noncomputerised or nondigital devices 
The 'nude' and innocent children 
Born today going to tomorrow...

Dear Lordy, what have you done
this loony spouse given me…
he rants and TV- clicks all night
much like a  freakish banshee!

Obsessed with horror movies
remote  control is life's drug:
This model needs rebooting,
It's time for urgent de-bug.

The dude who invented the remote control certainly was a genius!

   I can surf the TV from the comfort of my Lazy-Boy - 'tis so ingenious!

      But even with this technological marvel I still have a complaint.

         Why is it that the illusive remote is usually where I ain't?

Alone, she sat quite still,
her gaze full fixed ahead.
Enrapt by visions fed,
scarce breathing e’er she will
disturb perceptions’ fill; quiescent as tho’ dead.

Into the room he crept,
his probing arm around
her body, no more bound,
so quickly was she swept.
As fingers so adept, respiring without sound.

Too soon was reached his goal;
TV remote control....

I’m much too tired 
To get up 
And change the channel 
And though this infomercial 
Isn’t something 
I really want to watch 
It fills in the time 
I guess I’m too lazy 
And too damned broke 
To buy new batteries 
For the remote control 
So I’ll just lie here awhile 
And keep pressing the buttons 
Until this thing either works 
Or I eventually 
Fall asleep...

Just in a mode of sensation 
                                              privileged for own desires
                                            communication without wires
                                             not even with remote control 
                                                     but heart to heart
                                          love continues irritates in feeling...

The remote control seemed to hang in the air
as it described a perfect arch towards the pool,
flying, hands-free, in its own metaverse;
a surreal image, frozen not by it, but of it.

The tiny buttons, scrambled over, a moment ago,
glinting in the sun. PAUSE, clearly showing upon one.

Also frozen, on the fifty-two-inch flat screen,
the losing goal. That cost the match ~ caused the flight....

I'm a home sportsman
And what a career I've had,
Watching sports around the globe,
I take the good with the bad.

I have to keep my fitness up
So I drink coffee by the cup,
Excuse me while I adjust my lounge chair,
Wow, my horse just got up.

But one thing's always bothered me,
It makes me cringe with fear,
If my remote control finger's injured,
It might end an illustrious sporting career....

Look in the mirror
At the colors of our souls
Faith is not remote control 
Our minds communicate
But how do we really relate
Our hearts have been torn apart
There are some people who
Can put them back together again
So we can finally live as friends
I hope we can find them soon 
Because if we don’t 
We remain the bitter end
Look in the mirror
At the colors of our souls
Faith is not remote control...

Perhaps a right of passage      
or a males destiny
controlling the remote
always seemed just right to me.

Skillful flicking fingers
fast on the keys
scanning thru the channels
and with great dexterity.

Change to other stations
commercials gotta go
such a star on the clicker
a real surfing pro.

It's of course my opinion
but these words I extol
all's right in my world
when I have remote control!...

A-t risk is the whole world, 
N-ations are exposed to harm; 
G-lobal crisis creates collapse, 
E-mploying economic alarm.
L-ife is horribly put at risk, 
I-ndividuals are in danger; 
C-ontagious jeopardy's dirt
A-pplies the dreaded destroyer.

P-oisonous pandemic's grimes
A-re in remote control and disc; 
C-omputer accesories are not spared, 
E-very state is put at
R-isk.

Retirement and the remote control,
This sounds like a whinge in an ode,
Retired men and remote controls,
Includes, "Who gave old men phones?"
Is this what 'golden years' meant?
Defensible violence to retired men?
You'll be getting good manners for tea,
And not much more from me!
Don't you turn T-Rex on me!
I want a turn on that remote control, please,
You've turned into a sook and a toad,
My 'golden years' whinge in an ode!...

With a remote control 
Everything may be at your fingertips
But not human rights
Man with wisdom is difficult to control
Bribery and scandal will be questioned
A peaceful demonstration may occur
Protesting
For human rights and justice
The country is neither under one person
Nor controlled by the only remote control 
Called hegemony
But under the whole people's rights 
But under God's protection
But under one's conscience
If any...
