I am parent, I am TV.
I am to keep you distracted
I am to keep you entertained
In a world full of genocide and destruction
Keep you numb and drained
I am to provide for you, less of what you need to know
I am to provide for you, limited space to grow
your own thoughts and opinions
In help of you to become an unsuccessful minion
I aid in conditioning you
I aid in forcing down your throat
The political bias
that they want you to vote
I must obliterate that nagging feeling
That something is wrong, in the back of your mind
I must tell you that everything is fine
In a world full of genocide and destruction
I am your parent
And you are mine.
About this poem
A short poem that should subtly reveal the negative effects of a TV within a household. Although everybody has one, but what happens when your TV begins to feel like a member of your household, begins to feel like your parent. This is all part of their agenda, and whom "they" is, is up to the reader to find out.
