Television Today

By: Husam (Sam) Salman

Commercials that make food

Come to life

Make me not

Want to eat their

Creepy food.

(I change the

Channel)

American football

Has become so violent

I'm guessing someone

Will die this year from

Their injuries...

On the field.

(I change the

Channel)

Reality TV - I've noticed

People have no regard or

Consideration for others,

As of late,

It's been a rude society

We live in.

Ill educated and ill mannered –

My father would say.

(I change the

Channel)

Death Commercials

Are comical -

You're shocked

That I am text

While driving?

-

I'm shocked

That you’re shocked.

Welcome to 2013.

(To be fair,

I'm also not shocked

That you drive like shit)

(I change the

Channel)

Car Commercials make

Me sad that more cars

On the road

No longer come standard

With turning indicators

As a standard feature

As seen on TV.

(I change the

Channel)

You can guess what

Channel this is…

Most of gay men

Are whores because

Some people are too

Immature to want to

Grow up.

Some people just fear it.

Other guys think it’s a

State of mind.

Is being a whore

The definition of

“Showing your pride?”

(I change the

Channel) 

Picky eaters

Carnivorous cavity

(I change the

Channel) 

Constantly satisfying

Your lust and sexual desires

Satisfies your love from

Ever having to exist.

(I change the

Channel) 

Debate about Immigration –

You'll know the tide has

Changed

When Mexicans

in Los Angeles

Drive better cars

Than the Koreans

(Though I doubt that

Will ever happen

Based on the way

This current world

Is spinning.)

(I turn off the TV)
