The Telly Trouble Comments

This is so true and a sign of the times. Excellent work.

Excellent write. Loved it. Too many ideas given to viewers with all of these crime programs.Thank you

Well said I agree 100%

Both kevin n ruth do take note dat Tv is part of a series of cultural probs dat turn out juvenile delinquents. There r other factors n causes for them too.

My opinion is that if children / teens are properly brought up (and I've brought up two who are now in their 30's) , if they are grounded and know right from wrong, are taught empathy and compassion for others then there is no need to censor T.V. as they'll know themselves what is 'just TV' and what isn't and if my two ever felt frightened or disturbed by what they viewed we'd always discuss it together. Sometimes I'd say if I was horrified by a particularly nasty programme but there was nothing that we couldn't talk over and they themselves would censor their own TV. I hasten to add they have both turned out very sensible and level headed adults, one with a family of his own now.

Thank you kindly for reading my work. Your poem is incredibly intelligent, insightful, and inspiring (to properly monitor our attitudes in what we offer for TV viewing) .

I like the writing and thought it was clever the way you used language for dramatic effect, but I slightly disagree with the message I do not think that violence on T.V. makes children more violent, I think violence is inherit in people to begin with, but that television can amplify some of this into rage. Not all children who watch violent shows become violent, they see it as fantasy, for most people everything is fake behind a screen its only when they experience it that it becomes real. Either way I do like the poem and respect your beliefs

lovely lines. such an important and contemporary topic brought in focus. very nice cheers

great poem. Keep it up. I'm glag I read you thanks for the invite

Yup I agree. Our favorite stars are like our teachers and anything they do becomes our ideal. I agree that the very few tele programs or cinema programs have the power to direct the society positively. A very nice theme chosen and you handled it very nicely. I like the way you started your poem with the two lines, meaningful and thought provoking. What kids are watching on telly are crimes and crimes in all variety! Well Done dear.

Ah so true how much tv and video games can influence a child so much! Terrific poem here! ! !

a splendid discourse..... didactic in nature but well versed...few good lines and phrases like..... and drills evil thoughts subliminally into the subconscious! ...... Now that technology's long opened this pandora's box the dispersal of amplified social ills ain't no hoax....... infact his is the hoax that spoil the vry nature of innocent being....... beyond its poetic worth this piece of writing will turn our fellow poet's attention to address and pen such critical issues that slowly poisoning our generations.........

. The fare dish out by the Telly is really telling upon the minds of our teens. Since it can not be wished away in the age of internet, some sort of censorship is desired by the Govt. and control by the parents. A thought provoking poem.

A great poem, somethings on telly can be really bad for your kids.

This is a real super master piece.! ! ! wow, your work is really perfect. every one should read this art. well done.
