The poet shares his experience here. In almost every house he has visited, he has watched children gaping at the screen.
They were staring with their eyes wide open and with absolute concentration of mind. For sitting a long time before the television set, they become tired.
Sometimes they sit or lie in a lazy and casual manner and get sloppy. But still, they stare at the television until their eyes are too tired to watch any more .

Here is your question answer
......
When the children are before a television set, they ‘sit and stare and stare and sit’ for long hours.
They don’t seem to be moving from there, as they probably forget everything around them in the real world.
Rather, the one they watch on the television becomes real for the time being.
They are almost hypnotized by this idiotic box. They are ‘absolutely drunk’, their minds are filled with those ‘shocking ghastly junk’ which are mostly unreal and inappropriate for the age.
Those TV shows kill their valuable time and make them lazy with no room for their physical play and exercise.
They have no scope of spending time with books and nature, and interacting with others.
Their minds, filled with the images and stories of a virtual world, are compared to a drunk man’s imaginary world in an apt metaphor here.

watching television rots the sense in the head of the children.they cant even imagine that what is fantasy or fairyland. it makes their mind soft as a cheeze.
