Straight and Narrow

You're possessed
By TV's empty fantasies

Hot air is everywhere

Your ears are filled
With parasitic words

You murder time
Among friends

I'm trying to be mindful
I'm trying to be me
And not get manipulated

My words are thoughtful
Based on tests and time
You may not value them now

Ignorance is ignoring the truth
Come get me
When you get tired
Of meaningless conversations

If I'm lucky enough
To still be here
