I don't need a T.V.
to tell my children what to think
I love their own minds'
ability to create
so I chose
I chose to liberate
from that lifeless babysitter
where kids crawl before dinner
and in the kitchen I cook
something better than what's on the food channel
and I invite my neighbor over
instead of shooting him with a .22
no, I don't need a T.V.
to tell my children how to act
I can do that
yes, I can do that.

I have to agree with you on this one This was a really good piece, especially that first part about creativity. I was raised without Television and it kept me active and artistic. I love that
