Ads Brainwash

Ads Brainwash

A Chapter by Abdul Batin Osman Bey
"

A stance against our Consumer Culture

"

Don’t watch ads- they inject your mind unrealistic consumerism

Don’t listen to ads- they make you feel products will make you happy

Don’t watch ads- they make you love junk and hate people

Don’t listen to ads- they turn your spirit into a product to serve false gods

 

Advertisement isn’t your friend

They take away your free will

A daily dose of opium

To keep you from seeing the big picture

 

Don’t watch ads- they show you that having stuff is happiness

Don’t listen to ads- they strip your consciousness of human contact

Don’t watch ads- they are designed to make you ignore the world

Don’t listen to ads- they always have you wanting more, more, and more.

 

Advertisements isn’t your friend

They take away your free will

A daily dose of opium

To keep you from seeing the big picture

 

You wont be more loved

You wont be cooler

You wont be any happier

By having a heap of garbage

 

You wont be more loved

You wont be cooler

You wont be any happier

By having a heap of garbage

 

Just because you buy supposedly luxury crap doesn’t mean you accomplished anything.

duh

Don't listen to ads- they strip your consciousness of human contact
(My consciousness is stripped of human contact WITHOUT ads. : ) )
Interesting poem (a bit generalizing...to me that is) and well structured.
