T.V.

Just my mind rambling...I've just been thinking of how much time we spend in front of the t.v. and this poem is the result :)

You're a fly to my trap

once you sit you stay

a minute turns to hours

and hours into days

 

If you leave me there's still longing

as I watch you silently

waiting for the moment

you break down finally

 

You'll say it's for a minute

and i laugh at that silly lie

flashing my bright colors

it almost makes you high

 

Because i know you crave oblivion

you claim you're tired and stressed

annoyed by incessent thoughts

the trials and the tests

 

You think i can help you

you think i'll fix it all

But you only get lost

and deeper you fall

 

They made me to help man

to connect the world

Yet they never even realized

how their plan unfurled

 

You're a fly to my trap

and it's time for dinner

Though you were once a player

now i'm the only winner

great rhyme, you kept it tight and on track..the subject is one close to me heart..the tv is the devil incarnate! Especially childrens TV ...you can still there catatonic with dribble coming out of your mouth unable to think for yourself anymore..thank the Lord for Sky Plus..I don't put in on and then just watch the things that I want to watch..then off it goes..the ultimate challenge is not to have one at all...not that brave yet :)
