Poetry – My New TV – an ode to the 21st Century – It’s enough to turn you to religion! (Only kidding!)
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!
