Visions From Television
TV ads with bits of news
summarize priorities so hard to lose
Sell us booze
cold, in bottles draining quickly
Show us women with big boobs
skinny bodies bordering sickly
Sell us gas, preferably cheap
wasted in autos that don’t creep
Sell us burgers and fries
stretch pants for thunder thighs
Sell us liquid goo
make our bowels move true
Sell men pills for nature’s drive
resurrections make the dead alive
Sell us politicians with perfect behavior
elected because Jesus is their personal savior
Sell us more TV shows with reality
confirming our daily life is a banality.
