Television

A Poem by Megan
"

I'm up late, so this is what I come up with

"
the TV is entertaining no one but himself
while sleeping figures 
lie on the couch 
playing nothing but re-runs and marathons
while silence is abundant everywhere else 
softly glowing in the darkness 
while images dance across his screen 
whispering words and laughter 
while everyone dreams 
of something more than what he's offering 
he's watching life go on before him 
wishing he could join them 
they age and move away 
while he remains the same 
unchanging, just a box of bolts 
and electricity, he's never-ending 
it's a lonely life to lead 
watching them passing 
in and out they go and come 
but he never leaves 
staying behind for the next generation 
he has made himself a legacy 
but all he truly want is to sleep
