Death and destruction, the travesty
of war and disaster broadcast live
on TV. And side by side, new car,
Pepsi and Subway commercials,
the good life in the land of the free.
Someone has to pay for all of it
including the likes of you and me.
It doesn't seem so bad what is
happening in places far and away
when mankind calamity is interrupted
by frequent 30, 60-second commercial
breaks.
Go to the bathroom and Enjoy the
Go with Charmin. Order a pizza
from Domino’s, sit back in the
comfort of your Pella-windowed,
Lazy Boy home and take in the game
knowing you’re secure and fully
insured by Progressive.
War in Israel, Palestine and Ukraine,
the famine and impoverishment in
Africa is a whole different world away.
Uncomfortable or bored with what
you see, stream with Netflix, Hulu
or Prime Video commercial free.
Other than the mass murder, military
style gun proliferation and eminent
erosion of democracy, you’ve almost
got it made, America. Break out the
Bud Light, let’s celebrate!
