The Invasion

T.V. our protector our safe connection to the outside world our best friend, or, our worst enemy like a member of our family in the background of almost every memory from birth till death always looking out but never looking in hollow, trying to suck us in to fill it's void, like some hungry black hole this machine feeds on human lonliness and fear and mistrust of the outside world producing a nation of slaves that buy Coke, eat McDonalds, and watch Disney movies because it told you so that harmless looking little box has invaded every home in america
