Passivity

sonnet variant

 

 

Passivity,

 

My body’s here, my mind is not

It tends to wander quite a lot.

When it grows bored with the T.V.

Escaping into fantasy.
Imagination is the key

My mind creates alternatives

Changing what is to what might be

Instead of struggling to survive

Boredom inducing T.V.shows.

Which are designed apparently

To please the vacant minds of those.

Who choose to live vicariously

They can’t cope with reality

They disengage and watch T.V.

                 Constantly.

Well said my brother, I am quite the same way, I find more entertainment within my own brain than when staring at what I call the idiot box. Of course I do like the occasional show and sporting event but I do not let the programing dictate to me what I am going to do. Bravo and well said!
