The Television Poem by Joseph Ogbonna

The Television



What manner of innovation so ingenious,
electronic box made to serve our audio-visual demands.
This square-shaped screen that comes to life
by just a switch, reduces the size of the Globe in
every living room.
Entertains its audience every length of time they please.
What comedy so laughable!
What obscenity so carnally delightful!
and what gory tales so horrific!
can this Magical innovation not willingly render?
Still it relives the eventful past
for generations unborn.
