TV SCREEN

TELEVISION, AN AMAZING INVENTION THAT CAN DO ALL SORTS OF THINGS, FROM ENTERTAINING A LITTLE GIRL TO CONTROLLING HER EVERY MOVE... TELEVISION BRINGS ABOUT ALL SORTS OF THINGS FROM EPICS TO DRAMA TO COMEDY TO EVEN SELF REALIZATION. THIS MAY BE MAN'S MOST FAMOUS INVENTION. A BLESSING AND A CURSE.

I have been a victim of it's TREACHEROUS curse.

give me one and i shall be glued to it's melodic trance.

fixated in its hypnotic blasphemies

i cry with desperate delight.

visions and illusions fill the empty void.

destroying all that was sane

leaving it moist with tears of anxiety and unfulfilled wishes.

television

tell me a vision

filled with wondering looks

and inquisitive eyes.

Tell me a poem

filled with glass like masks

And dreamy lies

corrupt my soul

and my once untainted values

you leave nothing up to chance

all you really do is attach us to your strings

and make us dance

laugh an evil smile

smile an evil laugh

you show me your teeth

i give you mine

an unfair trade if you will

but none the less we chose to partake in such

the second we said 'i want that one'

patty cake

patty cake

baker's man

so i will

master

as fast as i can

pat it

and prick it

and mark it with a t

put in the oven

until i swoon for thee

television

television

tell me vision

television

television

lock me in your delirious derision
