Deliberate Notions

TV is a messenger’s tongue
Provides reality conveys
Hurtful moments analyzing taking
Place until the media
Decides my maximum patience

An item catches my interest
When South of Timbuktu a Dogon
Man sits on weathered rocks awaits
Celebrations to begin the Mask
Dance prayer of protection
From vengeful deceased animals

My coffee aromatic taste
Quickening my lips from a soft sofa
I glance at surrounding comforts
Bowl of grapes a treat and TV
Easily propelling me away from
The world that man must survive in.

Absolutely... I stopped watching tv years ago. It is Orwellian to me, full of Newspeech that doesn't amount to hill of beans at the end of the day. I have 8 different News sources on this thing. That is sufficient depression all on its own ! lol ( and still Orwellian in nature ) We humans must extensively search to find "truth" and personally I think the powers that be like it that way. They know for the most part we are creatures of comfort, and do not like to leave our cages that often *smirks* Much enjoyed this :)

I enjoyed reading your comments, MaggieG. Yes, we have so much in our society. One visiting minister from Africa went for lunch one day with our Pastor, and myself and wives. The visitor could not believe he could select food from a menu. He said, "I have to check my garden to see what food is not yet eaten by the animals." Cheers from Richard LP
