Material Perspectives and media objectives

I kind of imagined this one more like spoken word.. meant to be slow and dramatic..

Puppets on a string
Performing
For all the world to see
Blatantly
Mocking humanity
Persuading
Society
To believe
It's all about 'Me'
Me.
Me.
See It
Gutta have It
Be It
Wear It
Don't share it
'Do You'
'Get Yours'
Entitled and bored
Self absorbed
Consumer to the core

And if you think
There may be more
To Life...
Oh, right-
Don't Think.
Just Buy
Buy.
Buy.
And if you try
To Use Your Mind..
Never
Mind
We have an App for That.

Consumed by consumption. Forever trying to buy our way to happiness by the instant thrill, instantly forgotten, must have accesory, until the next must have, blinkered existence we find ourself in.
Never thinking of the child labour sweatshops used to make your next must have because everyone else has item.
Oh, I need to stop before I go full rant mode.
Perfectly capturing the incessant chase of striving.
Great job.

Yes! This is exactly what I'm talking about.. I find myself ranting about these issues constantly and looking around at all these brand name zombies and wondering how it got this far.. But, anyways, thank you for reading and your comments!

Smart and well-articulated satire.
An extremely perceptive piece of work, Marie!
