Every night <br />Prayers lull me to sleep <br />Infusing a watchful Lord <br />In my hope over evil <br />But a flip-flop switch of a snooze <br />Zaps the television <br />Through the flickering channels <br />Only to mean awake the whole world <br />Doing its blah-blah-blah <br />However <br />Of the sleeping Lord <br />To remind me at 5 a.m <br />Pristinely they invoke Him <br />With'Suprabhatham'<br /><br />Indira Renganathan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/those-television-channels/
