TV Addiction

I recall when books were read
Television's now watched instead
Down the tube our culture's heading
Brain paralysis is what it's spreading

We're fed commercials on demand
In our great star spangled land
"Oh-oh say can you see"
Something good on TV?

If we sit and stare at those TV soaps
We can kiss goodbye to parental hopes
Children drown in this dumbing abyss
All kids deserve much more than this

Hours of staring at TV screens
Can blow our brains to smithereens
Why not read some poems and fiction
And lay to rest this tube addiction

Good poem and so true. It seems so many kids and adults are just watching T.V all day. And there are so many things on T.V that just arent something that anyone should be watching. So much violence. I like T.V but I love a good mystery book even more!!!
Great poem
