Where Was The Turn-around?

From sweet to....?

I sat there looking pretty
In the store with many more.
I was so new and hansom
Entertainment I could pour.

I have a VHS for all the old-times
And DVD and cable hook-ups.
Even Net TV. is offered
More than enough for the puppets.

If none of this is enough
There is satellite my set will give,
I have something for everyone
Till they forget how to live.

That’s a hidden fact however
So don’t go passing it around,
Or they may stop their buying,
If the Truth they have found.

Hours a day they spend before me
Forgetting so much more.
The things in life that mean so much
Now-days become a bore.

They’d rather watch me day by day
The violence so appalling,
The more I tend to offer
‘Cause for it they are calling.

They don’t even bother to stop the kids
Sex they find so appealing.
The kids just soak it in
From nature’s ways they are stealing.

They wonder why this little boy
They seen grow up so sweet,
Ends us raping some young thing
And hits for a repeat.

Or why some children so tender
Grew up a different way,
And ended up with hate so deep
Someone had to pay.

So innocent young children
Are shot down in cold blood,
What made the shooter change so
What made the hatred bud?

TV’s just entertainment
Can’t be blamed for all the pain,
If that were true then tell me
Why do people act insane?

There have always been problems
Of this there is no doubt.
But since TV has entered
There has been a Turn-about.

What we allow our ears to hear
And our eyes to feast upon,
Is what our heart will thrive for
And what our life will spawn.

"TV of course is not to blame for everything. But it has been molding our minds all these years and has made a tremendous impact on our lives. So slow a impact that it is not even noticed. That is the most dangerous part of it."
