Gave up the bible for cable TV

This is the new frontier

The world of technology

Left the bookmarks

Of Plato to watch

Human tornadoes

Control the airwaves

Contradict reason

I sit wishin’

It did not have to be this way

Yet it is

–

I found solice in long days

Filling up my hours

So many different ways

Taking time off to play golf

Spending hours on long walks

There is static in the channel

Its plain as day

Misty white and foggy gray

I walk wishin’

It did not have to be this way

Yet it is

–

The disconnect began

And years rolled by

With the TV on loud

No one ever heard the cry

Or laughter of babies born

Rather left motherless

Just a thought thereafter

This is technology

Sophistication for you and me

I sit wishin’

It did not have to be this way

Yet it is
