Superheroes, cops, agents, and the like,
gone,
enter commercials, adverts…
selling banalities, souls, and the perverse.
Blaringly loud,
music jingles and clanging voices,
capitalist, consumerist overload…
*Blown!*
The TV seemed to be stuck,
it was dementing,
I tried to change the channel,
I tried to switch it off,
I tried to turn it down,
it wouldn’t budge.
It was torture.
…
“Welcome to the future!”
boomed an ominous tone…
If this was that,
the 21st Century,
then I was glad to be inside,
outside society,
to live and die,
hopefully in peace and alone.
