We’re inert and passive and slack-jawed and numb and our critical functions deflate
The cars are all red and they’re driven too fast and everyone screams while they’re talking
Information is just not exciting enough, so the news stories have to be shocking
All of the gunfights and all the car chases and all of the loud ballyhooing
Are there so our brains can get the impression there’s something we’re actually doing

One of these days, John should collect all of his social commentary poetry (He waxes poetic about more than just TV!) and publish them, instead of just setting them free in Facebook......
