TV Freaks
Disconnected Improperly Connected Geeks
Teletubbies got TVs on their bellies
But if You sit 'round all day
You'll get tubby just watchin' the 📺 telly
So The major corporations designed a plan
That was grand
Since we can't roam with vacuum tubes
Throughout the lands
So, they evolved their product
Made it capable to fit in the palm of our hands
If mass control is their agenda's
Vendetta
They expanded their range
Effectively
Giving us
Antenna
Now people are too weak
Afraid to put down their devices for weeks
As their Vices
Been played on by psychoanalysts
As a species this kind of
Over stimulus
Is something that we were never evolved
To handle this
We prey on instincts
And mental cognition
So will power's Weakened, its voice is diminished
Hard to listen
We need to do more than pray
If we want the system
To change for the better
Cause this societal weather
Has evolved into shit storms
Yet, the broadcast was already forewarned
So afraid of losing connection
Yet, we also end up losing in this interconnected connection
As we consume not each other, but another's projection
Not choosing what we create
Even the selection of our words
It seems we've lost all manners to be discrete
We've evolved into televised monsters
Trapped in millions of birdcage screen device boxes
Not being happy beings
We're the ones who're freaks.

I especially love deVices. Clever!
Since I'm an old bat, I can say I lived most of my life with no mobile connection. Now it seems I can't leave the house without it. We are definitely too connected (she says while typing on her phone).
The first three lines about the Teletubbies made me giggle! Then this got deep! Excuse me while I go unplug myself 😅 lol
Great, great, great!
This is excellent invective, Thavien! Loved it! Read like a rap too.
Omggggg, you're righttttt! It's like we do have antennas now!
