You did it, didn't you!

You Did It, Didn't You!


Insidious, Incendiary Fear Mongering

Call it what you will

The smiling assassins

Give out more

Shattering, Cracking

This is war

Unbelievable

This insanity has gone too far

Buy One Get one free

Rise and fall

Buy your inspiration here

The end is nigh

Melodramatic Insanity

Nothing but heresy


Listen Up

Don't Move

This is an authorised robbery


Shuttering, Mumbling Provocations

Time to take a stand

Whispers on the wind

Nostalgia Pervades

Happy Now?

I told you so

Overplayed Panic

Gang Mentality

Have it large

And forget about

The hostile takeover

Anti-climatic bankruptcy

Insidious Fine Art


Listen Up

Don't Move

This is an authourised robbery


Shining, Defining sign of the times

Overstretched Confidence

Fabulous Shadow play

Bought a yacht

End of the century

Sell, Sell, Sell

Take, take, Take

Tear stained wrapping paper

It's all logistics

Disheveled Graffiti cascading

Read all about it


Listen Up

Don't Move

This is an authorised robbery


Yours, Mine, Forgotten

Austerity is the way

Step into the vortex

Five quid lager

Christmas Cheer

Melancholic bliss

Chin up

Smug Dimensions

Have a cuppa tea

It'll be alright

Make mine a pint

This is war

You did it, didn't you!

This was very interesting. It sounded to me like a statement on how consumerism blacks out the reality of what is going on outside our own little bubbles, and outside our country. I could be way off, but regardless I found it a pleasure to read.

Thank you for your comments. Consumerism is definitely one of the themes here.
It is probably my own thoughts imposing on yours but this seemed like it was talking about shopping. In Sale season that can be war. lol. I enjoyed it and am inspired by it.... think I will pop to the shops. :)

Thank you for your review. I definitely framed the poem using a shopping context. :-)
