Tablet

there is nothing sadder    
than watching a kid      
navigate an iPad      
eyes focused      
intensly      
in direction of lap      
rabidly      
triangle and tap      
sensitive plastic      
opening another window      
of two-dimensional crap.......      
     
meanwhile......      
     
dead-headed      
dead-head parents      
hold up smart-phones    
hump 'em together    
exchanging data fluids      
injecting each other      
with viral      
electro-magnetic clap......      
     
back      
to      
unfortunate pre-schooler's      
i-Trap........      
     
three-hours      
ass-glued      
to couch      
take      
lactose intolerant      
break      
eat sugary snack      
2 more hours      
of cyber-pap      
crawl exhaustedly      
to bed      
take a nap      
and ya      
wonder why      
Michelle O'bama  freaked    
'bout kids bein' fat?      
     
I know how      
to break      
the childish habit      
of finger dancin'      
on surface flat      
I'll give that kid      
a tablet      
a tab of acid      
in fact      
let that precious      
mind unwrap      
tear ass off sofa      
when giant      
dust-mites attack      
flee to the yard      
behold      
green planet intact      
to explore      
instead of      
whore      
for pimp parents      
addicted to      
corporate crack
