hey, what's on the idiot box?

by derek garner - Virgo

realize.....
what lies within t.v. guide
are subliminal lies for yor eyes.
brains fried,
over easy i guess, unless
remote access is your most common relief
of stress.

me,
my MTV is Mostly Tuned into Violence
my morality is mostly locked into silence,
in the back bedroom closet shivering and
hiding.
ricki fake and jerry
that humdinger both got
'sexy black, one armed, transvestite hookers
who marry their step fathers'
already seen it
fix the  f***ing antennae.

free huey, free mandela, free mumia, free geronimo, free cheese, free cable 
free willy on HBO
i ain't missin' that
it's showtime outside the apollo creed?
what creed?
I turned on  channel greed and threw 
away the remote
i got my new couch potato 3000 on lay-a-way
and on the fifteenth it's mine
it's must-see
monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday
friday, and saturday
yeeeeah baby!

on the seventh day i rest says my bible,
the raiders is playin' k.c.
