A Poem by Dupur Mitra



All advertisements are beautiful.

All advertisements,

model girl and boys on the bill boards are so nice.

their laugh,
face,
body

everything is beautiful.

Even the poor people,
advertisement for aids,
are beautiful.

but no faces are real,
even their laugh and also the poor people are not true.

These are only advertisements.

Only advertisement are real.

Advertisement can hide everything,

also the human civilization.

it's the marketing technique to have people in the advertisements look presentable. However, it's true that the real picture is not always provided. Considering what certain organisations do what is essential to truly help others, their advertisements should not be seen in a negative light. Yet, this world is devoid of perfection, and if we must know these facts, we have to see it first hand. The message given through your verse is sublime. The last two lines of the poem are most interesting. It provides some effect as to how the media is adversely influential and powerful.

Your words are true. Media doesn't tell the truth. I went to Africa in 1995-1998 on food and water missions. I put many kids and woman in mass graves. These memories I hide away. Can brake your heart 20 years later. The poem told the truth. Thank you for the excellent poem.

An, ok poem. I am not satisfied with you picking this particular topic. I enjoyed your other writings for their interesting topics and your interesting perspective, but this, I feel, is much too cliche for someone with a minimalist style like yours to touch on. Ok read, as always, thank you.
