Programmed TV Junky

turn the television on

and let the enemy

inside your mind

 

to pump you full

of fear based images

 

sex

violence

death

murder

pornography

rape

 

is this you(WELL IS IT?)

are you an addict(WELL ARE YOU?)

 

do you fit this description

from the moment you

get up out of  bed

you crave that TV fix

and without thinking

you've already flicked the switch

are you that person

 

they programme you

thats why its called a television programme

they mould you

control you

you become their plaything

they don't want you to think

they don't want you to question them

 


the answers are their for you to see

only thing is you've lost that ability

the television has programmed you

to be an unthinking, uncaring entity

Lenny

There are things that have to be done in this overcrowded world and that is control of the Masses and at 6 billion plus a few there are to many to keep at peace. The war lords of the past use to control the population or the odd plague. The last two world wars only killed a couple of million and they have in numbers been replaced time and time again. Things use to be controlled by Religion and to hell you went LOL if you were bad then forgiveness came with a rosary in its hand to brush away your sins and then the scaattering of the religions as chaff. They are only ways as TV of controlling the many. If we didn't have football in this country I believe there would be more madness and killing here. A great piece of writing but is there a solution to the things you say, no matter how true, Yours Ian.T

The t.v.

Lenny, you are right on with this observance. The leaders of the masses have always used everything at their disposal to help contain controlled numbers. The t.v. is used in a very subtle way usually, trying to direct responses to certain things, but like you, there are a lot of us that can see it. thanks for posting Richard

To watch TV or to be FREE!

Ian and Richard - thanks for your comments. In all honesty we face more problems than the TV which distracts many millions of people from being who they truly are, but the telly is a modern curse! I am amazed at the number of people who "worship" at its altar, and then fall further into its black hole when they begin to adore the fictional characters that they watch! What is the solution then? I believe we need to get in touch with our true nature and explore the endless talents that we have. People need to work together, first within their own family unit and then with their local community; and build from there. Idealistic it may sound, but the truth of the matter is that we no longer have a relationship with, 1. ourselves, 2. Mother Earth and 3. with those close to us(both emotionally and physically). Phew! I've worn myself out! Love, Light and Laughter to All Beings Namaste, Lenny

Yes good one here again Lenny

My Tv is off alot I do not have time to watch it as I work in the drama all day also. I like it when the house is quiet and I can write or have a talk with my son after a long day at work and school. I agree the stuff on tv today is nothing we grew up with. Goodness sakes we had quality time as a family and tv was a treat back then that was for sure. I really like this poem Lenny and I also hope your feeling better today. Love,Mona Learn to live, learn to forgive. Life is too short.

TV Crimes

against humanity! Back in the 1970's television was not the monster of today, and I enjoyed watching Dr Who and Emmerdale Farm(please don't laugh!!!), plus animal documentaries. Nowadays its mainly a stream of sex and violence, and sadly it does harm people emotionally, mentally and spiritually. This is no accident though, it is planned to be this way, those in power(not the politicians as they are mere puppets who get well rewarded for their roles), the New World Order, Illuminati etc; whatever you wish to call them. I could go on but will spare you! Mona - thanks for your comments. and I'm feeling OK today, thanks for asking. Eric - your input is appreciated. Love, Light and Laughter to All Beings Namaste, Lenny
