Video Is Your Opiate Poem by BEAU GOLDEN
Video Is Your Opiate
Video is your opiate
Shadows flicker across your face
In your trance you never cry
In your trance you never pace
Humanity has left me
I'm sucking up to sparrows
I was born to be a vulture
I shoot giant arrows
My soul is numbed by video
I know I love violins
I'm a modern day nihilist Romeo
My face never grins
Look out your window see trees plants and sunlight
Look into your idiot box and see power death and night
Nothing is ugly in the idiot box except you
How can you compare how can you dare to what you see there?
Video is your opiate
Shadows flicker across your face
In your trance you never cry
In your trance you never pace

Beau, one of your best if I do say so myself. 'Nothing is ugly in the idiot box except you' is my favorite line.
Very intriguing to say the least. There are times when I think I have seen way too many videos. Good job.
