a tube...from where to where?

 
T'was never..
Meant to be swallowed
...and wallowed in
 
Gotta learn to gargle and spit
...these marbles of media...
Where folks marvel at
That seedier
... greedier
..........needier..
Content...
 
Are they content?
Satisfied?
 
NBC sho iz gratified from
N-umbing
B-rain
C-ells..
 
Now pick a personal hell
..i.e....channel
.....where vices and fears
Get channeled
 
....... and conscious thought...
Sprayed like pesticide..
... best decide your status...
..in this apparatus
 
What was that?
Someone just had a brain fart?
Let life imitate art
...or a facsimile there of?
 
..there in
 
[Lies] the reason
For their demise
Them eyes glued to imagery
 
Welcome to the menagerie
Of many hues
Rubes imbued in
...a monochromatic tone..
 
..for such comments
Do we the outcast atone?...
...no..but still
It's tough standin alone
..out here in the field left of....
 
Can we call it
Grand theft auto~~~~mation?..
 
One nation under a ________ .
 
Yeah...that's 'bout
What we're shootin now..
 
Blanks...
 
...thanks for your time...
