POEM BY JUAN K: OUR TELEVISION

POEM BY JUAN K

OUR TELEVISION

Competition among telly channels
Were expected to bring
More quality and amusement
But that´s not what I see.

Thousands of soap operas,
Tons of ads,
Therefore to see that crap
We need to have real guts.

Pay per view tv
Is always an option
But unless you are a millionaire
You won´t play that function.

Will all that balance?
What has Internet to do?
I think you´d better listen to Maria Callas
Otherwise you´ll suffer a "Déjà vu".

A nice chat with all of you
I´m glad to enjoy and spend,
I´m talking like a sentenced man
Who is in fact innocent.

For the parents to educate their children
There´s no clear nor right method,
Just empathy from the very beginning
Allowing them to see "los teleñecos".

Things will turn to right
From blue to red,
So don´t worry any more and
Therefore this is a farewell.

Thank you for your contribution, Juan K. Everybody has a poet inside.

  3. Thank you very much to everybody.
    Each one has some skills
    And it seems that mine is rhyming like a rap singer
    Without the need of any pill :).

    All the best
