I want to confess as I have committed a sin,
Sitting idly in my emotional incapacities
Conscious that this is only television screen.

I see people being butchered like flies therein
Women being gang-raped in large degrees
I want to confess as I have committed a sin.

The school kids getting burnt alive within,
Due to the negligence causing short circuits,
Conscious that this is only television screen.

With mere curiosity I watch each of the scene,
I want to cry, get angry but can’t, my apologies!
I want to confess as I have committed a sin

I am taught not to dwell long on any scene,
As I can view next day’s batch of goodies
Conscious that this is only television screen.

All of my emotions whirled into the screen
Getting a call for hangout from my buddies.
I want to confess as I have committed a sin
Conscious that this is only television screen.
