Staring at the screen
My brain cells do devolve
learning of the issue that
this product somehow solves.
they sure do look quite happy,
those picturesque, beaming folks,
I need this thing to be content?
so what, it makes me broke.
I can not bear to live without
my precious, perfect thing
"must be 18 or older to call"
the lady quickly sings.
O please, my dearest only friend,
your products I may flaunt,
throw out originality
and tell me what I want.
And so you see, these ads are more
than what they at first seem.
capitalism, feed the pigs,
the new american dream.
Two favorite parts:
ReplyDelete1. "throw out originality / and tell me what I want."
2. "the new american dream."
These both ring too true. And that freaks me out a bit. What is going to happen to us as a society? Keep questioning social/cultural norms, Elliott, never give up your zeal for the original.
