Food For Thought
Think AS You Watch TV
By Michael Casey
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As we sit in our armchairs watching the news , do we care
what is going on over there , in some place hot , too hot to think about , or
too cold to bear , ice and snow everywhere . Are we just waiting for the sports
report , are we waiting to see was the battle hard or a walkover , did our
favourite player score a home run , or 10 touchdowns , were the crowd , the
audience behind him , did we win 100dollars from the bet we had on the side .
In the interviews after the war was won , were we just watching to see the
design on the teams shirt , is that a new logo , is that the same logo spruced
up . Or is it a new logo entirely , does it make any difference in how the team
played , or just another million dollars in the owners pocket , paid by us the
audience , the fans , just so we can all look so identical . The reporters are
screaming loudly , half excited and half in fear , they want to watch , they
want to cover their eyes , but they are there so they must report . Are they in
some arid desert , or in some cold cold place , pain and fear and hope etched
on their face , are they in some war zone , or at the stadium , if all we heard
were just their words , could we tell the difference , do we care , so long as
we can switch it all off with our remote control .
******something from a few years agro, I've been having a few pain days so I'll do something new in a day or so.
