The TV is my Shepherd...

The TV is my Shepherd:

I shall turn it on.

It makes me lie down on the sofa.
It ravishes my soul.

It leads me in the paths of

Ignorance and violence,
For the sponsor’s sake.
Yea, though I walk in the shadow

Of my responsibilities,
There will be no interruptions;
For the TV is with me.
It’s cable and it’s remote control

They comfort me,
It prepares a commercial

Before me,
It plants lies within my mind.
It anoints my head

With materialism.
My coveting runneth over.
Surely laziness and ignorance

Shall follow me all the days of my life;
And I shall dwell in the house

Watching TV and it’s propaganda
Until the day tyranny breaks down

My door,
And I can no longer hide from it;
Behind my television, anymore.
