I’ve got a new TV.

Everything is newer, bigger and better. But it is empty. The quality diminishes.

We consume.

Celebrity culture robs us of creativity.

We are guided into a wish for fame but it has no substance or purpose. All the fun is simulated. All the squeals and laughter added or orchestrated through a seies of mindless pap that is supposed to entertain.

I am not entertained.

I want something real, with depth and meaning, passion and integrity.

I want to become involved emotionally, intellectually and creatively. I want to be stimulated. I want something that addresses the real problems that we are faced with.

I don’t want to consume – I want to experience!

 

I’ve got a new TV

 

I’ve got a new TV

It’s bigger than me.

It tells me

Who I want to be.

 

It has twenty three thousand channels

And all of them are crap

All in super 3D

And HD with Soap overlap.

 

I can watch the Game Shows,

Sport and MTV,

Filling all my hours

With tasteless wannabe.

 

My new TV is great

It fills my whole head

With everything forgettable,

Where nothing,

Absolutely nothing,

Of any consequence,

Is said.
