A Land Without
Television

A land without television
Is a land where everyone is free.
Free from what we are not
Such as covert influence, adverts.

In such a world we would come to you
When we saw your little sign outside your store.
Never to be brain washed to love and adore
The celebrity, the burger, and violence, blood and gore.

I wish I lived in an earlier time
When people sat in the sun and drank their wine
When life was slower and innocent, but now
I'm so confused by all that surrounds me... I feel I don't belong here.

Even now when I try to write, create, TV clouds my mind my thought
We're all like Rabbits in headlights caught.
It's so, so wrong, so.....
That I haven't read a book in so long.

I need to throw away my Television set
But I have no will, I will not, at least not yet.....please help us Someone! ! ! !
