Pepsi

A Poem by Adam Parker
"

Pepsi advert with Kendal Jenner

"
Pepsi

trivialisation of a generation with scorned adverts and television,
With tunnel vision there is no vision, only despair and greed
I saw an advert of Kendal Jenner today , I saw it.
Her need to receive praise baffles me , her hollow shell of "character",
she gives a police officer a can of Pepsi
With no-one to challenge her
we think she is "cool and hip ", old men in a room say "she just has it"
she rallies the troops , makes them jump through hoops to blind themselves
Replace their eyes and wear the glasses of old men
, no surprise, they are called Earl and John,
Do they know what they've done???
I do
Little few can tell , that all they see is a reflection of old men
Who trivialise protest to sell products , its a process
capitalists capitalising for capital .
Starbucks help 30,000 refugees while killing a million on their farms,
Pepsi making protest lighthearted ,
No recollection of the harm , the salty water afoot and the smash of broken bones,
Nowhere to call home, marginalised abroad and at home
Just to fill the lake with a bucket more water
It's torture to see , to be aware of corporate greed and perception
we've missed our Marx, we are in a world of Mad Men ,
in the mirror I see my reflection ,
It's not Don Draper ,
It would never happen.
