One-Eyed Monster

We have an idol in our home
with one great glaring eye,
He occupies the foremost place
and I will tell you why.

We sacrifice to him our time:
because he’ll entertain
And to our bulging eyes display
all of life’s sorry train

Of vice, and crime, and viciousness,
or horror, shame, and sin.
(We’ve wasted many precious hours
since we have let him in.)

For now he dominates our home,
for God we have no time,
Our eyes are dimmed by gunsmoke and
our mind is filled with crime.

“I bring into your living room
bartender, harlot, thief,
And from the sick commercials
I give you no relief.

“I brainwash children, and prepare
their minds by what they hear;
I make attractive: violence,
sin, cigarettes, and beer.

“You speak of young delinquents and
deplore their evil deeds
While I continue merrily
to sow the vicious seeds.

“The cheating wife, or husband,
is the accepted thing,
We’re living in a ‘modern’ world,
Go to it, have your fling!

“Away with outworn ‘standards’,
our day is modernized,
There’s no such thing as right or wrong,
for sin is glamorized.

“I set the world’s criteria;
I am the household god.
(If you protest against me,
you’re a puritanic clod!)

“I am the one that rules your home,
from God I turn your heart,
I fill your mind with banal trash
by foul hypnotic art.”

“Once family altars occupied
the place where we now see
The glaring eye of Cyclops,
though now he’s called ‘TV’.”
