A New TV
Our whole culture has gone soft. It’s obsessed with trivia and distraction. There seems no depth or purpose.
We are fiddling while the world burns.
A New TV
I’ve got a new TV
It’s bigger than me
It tells me who I want to be!
It’s got 2300 channels
And all of them crap
In super 3D
HD with Soap overlap.
I can watch the Game Shows
Sport and MTV,
Filling all my hours
With tasteless gravy.
My new TV is great
It feeds my head
With everything forgettable
Where absolutely
Nothing
Of any consequence
Is said!

Unthinking is to be encouraged. Education is not for the masses and has been systematically attacked and dumbed down. We are breeding stock to our masters, all fed into the machine to make money for them as indentured slaves and thrown on the scrapheap when we’ve become seriously ill or just plain knackered out after a lifetime of hard work.
Great little poem, though I winced at the MTV/gravy rhyme 🙂
Cheers Ian. At least it gives us something to kick against!!
