Telly Vision Nation

By Alchemist



Far be it for me,
To tell you who’s illegal and should leave

I’m just livin' the American dream
You know weed, sex and greed

We the people see,
All sorts of things on the TV screen

Like computers raging against the machines
Anonymous plots with erroneous themes

Homegrown terrorist named Mr. Smithereens
His shenanigans are a malicious scheme

But our empire’s self-fulfilling prophecy
Is just as callous it seems

    Sweet write, man. "Kids" is one of the movies that made me make sure I never had any. The other was "13". No thanks. Cool piece. Later -
