Awakening

I hate commercials 

Their message Universal

Fooled the weak with subconscious messages 

As vicious savages

Struggling to get the package. 

Eyes dart in the secluded passage

Accounts to manage 

Put yourself at a disadvantage
Looking up at the giant tower

Tears in the shower

A shift in the balance of power

So menacing you begin to cower

Listen to the voice through words?

ABSURD!

Ill pretend i never heard

But you have Bills to pay!
I would rather run away 
Hungry mouths to feed ..

Ill stuff mine with greed!

What of the things you need?

Forget them ill deal with it tommorow

After ive ended this life full of sorrow 

Young man dont feel so depressed 

The problems wont go away if you keep them repressed.

Now go get dressed 

And stop feeling obsessed

With the world of material

The world of the industrial

The key to living now is ignoring such distractions
Creative interactions

The old ways seem to be gone but are not lost 

Frozen in the morning frost.

Waiting to be found.

Mustapha Mond 

The ripples in a pond 

Come around and bounce again 

The only question is when?
When your old and frail?
Dream of the Holy Grail

Or pick the battle now

For you will see the changes they will bring

A flower blooming in spring 

The storm thats looming and the heartache it shall bring 

Now i leave you with your thoughts

And the message i brought 

You dont have to listen 

But your soul will truly glisten

And im so glad i did

That took an interesting twist: first it's like complaining about the media but then the ending is like quite complaining and live! After you read my poem, this piece fits with your comment. You're sending your own commercial or message in this poem and that's to just move on and not to get sucked in by the media void. Good poem.

Why thank you mr.ruffet, i like telling sort of a personal story in a lot of my poems and stuff, it just makes it easier to write in a way :P
