"Consumerism" ~ a Poem by Duncan Cary Palmer


"Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like."
- Will Rogers

Does it ever get to you?

The constant, relentless bombardment with advertising?

Consumerism

by Duncan Cary Palmer

This modern life's
So trouble-free,
I can't keep up.

Consumerism's
Killing me,
I can't keep up.

There's nothing left
Commercial free:
Buy Wheaties!
As seen on TV!

The market
Has it's grip on me,
I can't keep up!
