That's Entertainment

My TV has a thousand channels 

My PC's endless streams 

My phone is full of images 

Communication beams 

With advertisements everywhere

Bullshit disguised as news 

Phony reality television 

So are we not amused 

We can watch the Kardashians

throw around their money

Change the channel to some redneck 

wrestling a monkey 

That's American entertainment 

Denominator lowest 

Mostly all dimmed down to retard 

For those who are the slowest 

They should make a reality show

about the price of war

They could call it Real Survivors

Deployments of the Corps 

The ratings would be terrible 

It wouldn't last a season 

With way to much reality

Without a rhyme or reason 

No rich b***h to be jealous of

No pushy dance hall moms

Just young men far away from home 

and civilians hit by bombs 

It wouldn't be entertaining 

More like real depressing 

Lets just watch the crap they show us

Maybe that's the blessing 

Reviews

They pitch to the lowest common denominator.

[Baby Ricochet]

Yes they do. Thank you Marie

[Jack...]

BR...you hit it hard again. You speak volumes of truth. If only your world could be...

I am happy you referred to Dance Moms...I was hoping I'd see that in there.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Jack

[jacob erin-cilberto]

you are the best at this kind of poetry...rants that make perfect sense, with rhymes placed perfectly to make that perfect sense...you make us think about how things really are.

and the reality is never the reality we actually see on TV...those shows are so bogus.
life is real and it is very ugly sometimes...

Thanks for stopping by

[Samuel Dickens]

You've got that right. I think you know my sentiments on the subject. I can barely find anything to watch on tv that doesn't make me want to throw a brick through it.

[Baby Ricochet]

That's for sure. Thank you Sam

Sometimes the TV can be absolute shyte but other times it's quite good... like when you find out that Rob Kardashian might be getting a sex change....phwoar!

[Baby Ricochet]

Now that's what I call entertainment!

HA! I know right? I'm not surprised though.
