Idiot Box Revolution

A poem on television — the growth stunting device

watch it every day the television rest assured — not the relaxation kind of rest but as in ‘for certain’ — you will lose your vision not only your eyesight but also your inner vision

what could be easier than to switch on the TV and keep me safely away from the inner forces that force me to grow

of course, I earned my TV my sweet vanity for my own advantage to distract from the pain but all attempts end in vain

the panic, which you often dread as the television screen blurred was actually in your favor but you soon got it repaired before waiting for any further

then known as the idiot box now realized as the idiot’s box so get it out of your house? sorry, not a chance.

“Watching television is like taking black spray paint to your third eye.”― Bill Hicks
