Tv Dream Poem by Aram Stefanian

You feed on the corral dust of the politicians
The brainwashing machine gets off the ground
You're the best couch potato, married to stations
Not giving a hoot if somewhere people are drowned

You're brain-dead, TV has turned you into a vegetable
Another plane crash, you're unconcerned with the death toll
Just a picture on the screen, it can't be that terrible
You feel pretty safe at home, right on a roll

The artificial realm of phony heroes turns you on
You know everything about them and feel for them
Keeping a serious face, you don't react to a pun
You're deeply absorbed in your impersonal TV dream
