Television shows

We have become slaves,

to glass box's flickering screen,

wasting hours in runs and reruns,

glued to sofas, chairs or floors. 


Even in our routine activities

from cleaning, cooking or resting,

our eyes and ears were attentive,

to various stories and changing scenes. 


We do need to manage boredom, 

through diverse stimulus to our senses,

not many, have found a passion,

or have duties, and a profession. 


For, life is restricted in urban dwellings,

between walls, the world feels constricting, 

we need an outlet, expand our imagination,

that excites our heart, stirring emotions. 


So, we get pulled to an illusion,

and fill the void, due to exclusion,

chipping our time, drifting us away, 

from real world, for our compulsions. 


In the quest to satiate our thirst,

and bringing spontaneity in our life,

we have fallen to passive motions,

of lazy viewing, more procrastination.
