100 Days of Poetry Challenge~ Day Seven/Epigram~ "Give Me a Game on TV and I'll Be Happy!"

Patrick Henry exclaimed, "Give me liberty or !"
Citizens today wouldn't dare ever waste their breath.

With a bag of potato chips clutched tight to his chest
The average American seems to know what is best.

It isn't liberty or freedom or a cause most noble
It's what's on the television or who won the Super Bowl.
