Television
is the curse of the nation
Feeding ignorance
from station to station.

Depression hits you
Like a ten-ton truck.
One minute you are down
...
Another battle with the bottle
And this time I won't lose
I sip this bottle of vodka
Stopping when I choose
...
If I Could Die Tomorrow
......................................
...
Don't ever think of Suicide
Don't let it come to mind
It never solves the mystery
of the life you leave behind.
...
The Devil wears Denim
Or so it's been said.
He's updated himself
...
He's just a drunkbeat downandout
He don't care what people shout
Crawling through the streets at night
Looks through bins
...
You're a Long Time Dead
Or so the saying is said
You waste you're time
all day in bed.
...
Food or warmth?
What do they do?
They can hardly afford the one
But not the two.

Born in Liverpool 48 years ago, I have always held a fascination for words - especially words that rhyme. I am a 'Dark Writer', preferring to write about all things of a Supernatural or dark nature. Most of my early work, that I have posted on here, and that I wrote many years ago, is quite light. But, I have always preferred to write dark, forboding, terror-filled pieces. When I am not writing I am THINKING about writing.)

Yes.
The Television
Is the curse of the nation
What you're going to watch
is beyond explanation.
Information?
Useless
you bet.
Over thirty channels
and you have not picked one yet.
From
The Television
That stands there
in the corner
Hypnotic regression
of the nation is the order
of
The Television
What have you learned of
yet?
Generations of kids
that still don't know
their alphabet.
They watch
The Television
With murder on their minds
Images of death
portrayed
of every single kind.
On
The Television.
And then we act surprised
When a child commits a murder
before our very eyes.
In a society
That does not sanitise
The only wonder is
that we never realised.
That
The Television.
Feeds off our very brains
Sending out
To all about
Invisible radio waves.
Yes
from
The Television.
None of us are saved
It feeds us ignorance
Keeping everyone as slaves.
Television
is the curse of the nation
Feeding ignorance
from station to station.
Yes
The Television
is the curse of the nation
What you gonna watch
is beyond explanation.
