Glue Your Eyes to the Television

Jill P. Viers
Glue your eyes to the television
and forget that life exists.
Put an end to your tiresome day
and take in what you've missed.
Watch the suffering on the news
that others live each day.
See them fighting a losing battle,
and look the other way.
Don't blame yourself for all you waste
you can always go get more.
If you stopped living selfishly,
you'd finally see what life is for.

I guess others aren't as fortunate
But I have what I need
I'll waste my money and waste my time
and be possessed by greed.
