The big three are taking hits,
Loosen viewers bit by bit,
Cable is here and here to stay,
For the big three “sweeps” decay,
TV is changing by leaps and bounds,
Taboo’s no longer can be found,
Anything goes ~ Everything’s game,
There are no rules ~ Nothings the same,
Sex and violence is where it’s at,
The nastier and meaner is really phat,
Foul language is no longer bleeped,
What a society sows ~ It will reap,
Bad is good and good is bad,
Idols and heroes are self serving cads,
Cancer has reached the world of TV,
Infecting society as progress proceeds,
Values and morals are on the decline,
As the world feasts on violence and crime,
Ratings are a networks blood,
Cable produces a higher octave of sludge,
To stay on top ~ To make the grade,
Is to hold to lost values that were made,
Hold on big three ~ Hold on tight,
Don’t go down without a fight!!!

Ah, the spiralling feedback loop of social morality . . . I can almost smell the burning electric.
Well written. Keep at it. |
