Trapped in Television - 100 Day Poetry Contest Day 16
Welcome... To a 100 day journey into the poetic minds of the @steemitschool writing community!
Yes... it's not just me who's a part of this epic journey of daily inspiration and sharing... but over 100 others too!
I am so excited and honored to be a part of THIS INCREDIBLE CONTEST devised and facilitated by the legend that is @d-pend.
Today's piece is inspired by my dislike of TV. I haven't had it in my life for a long time. I watch stuff sometimes, but I would never just have it on as something to do.
I'm back at home right now with my Mum and Sister... and the TV is always on... It's loud, and offensive, and a load of shite generally.
So this piece is dedicated to that fact haha.
Thanks for reading as always!
With Love

Trapped in Television
A home-based Prison.
A cacophony of entrancing waves,
That locks the shackles onto it’s slaves.
So many humans lost in it’s haze...
For days….
And days…….
It’s designed to successfully take over your mind.
You think that it helps you to escape the daily grind,
But really -
It’s just another integral cog that turns in that daily grind.
Loud advertisements selling you stuff you don’t need,
Appealing to the masses to get in touch with their greed.
Ears bleed as eyes are assaulted,
We have to revolt kids...
Or the tyrant will hold kids...
Trapped in that trance,
Zombified nation,
Intoxication.
Losing the chance -
Of true liberation.
Force-fed propaganda,
Bad news,
Made up by bad people,
Fabricated lies,
That herd all the sheeple,
Into a tiny little pen -
Where they are trapped once again.
Seemingly unable to break themselves free,
From the enslavement of the TV.
Thanks as always for reading! Feels good to have a little rant about the TV - I'm rooting for more music and talking instead of mindless viewing rubbish on TV... wish me luck!!
