"Go turn off your television..."

Go unplug your television,

Constant rain and markets crashing,

And the hundredth repetition

Of the season’s latest fashions.

Go turn off the grim prognosis,

And the doctor’s new prescriptions,

For depression, runny noses,

And your cancers in remission.

Go switch off the hottest action,

Sex and money, drug addictions,

And the search for satisfaction

That is full of contradictions.

Turn your back on wealthy Christians

And their arms of toothless smiles

Asking you to fund their mission

And those children’s endless trials.

Close your ears to regulations

Of self-centered politicians

That assist big corporations

With a friendly disposition.

Break away from your attachment -

Shark attacks and train collisions,

And instead use better judgment, -

Go unplug your television.
