To hesitate is to think...

Pause is the remedy for fury.
But the thievery of cold hard cash
is the fuel for an angry moment.

For what person who has toiled
at a dead end job only to have
what little earnings saved
stolen by the price tag
of channel after channel
of cable entertainment.

Whole channels dealing with murder,
24-hour stations of deception and trickery
and that’s just George W. Bush
on the nightly news.

Almost every channel
up and down the broadband
serves up lust as love.

Truly if one would hesitate, think
and delay turning on the flat screen,
cease the wasted hours in front of
the family plasma,
surely anger would dissolve.
Ignore the pixilated world.
