Marketing Works

Like a sitting dog
You find yourself
In front of the screen,
Obedient and expectant.
Life and death flash
Before your eyes.
You are one in a million
Spectators.
Every message is for you.
The captivator of reptiles
Has come to sell you
His worms and whistles,
So you can be fed and be safe.
Though his wares are cool
As a light that has been on for days,
You help perpetuate the trend.
You open the can of flames,
Never wondering
How they were ever contained.
Despite the constant barrage
In your face,
You remain blind
And fall for the same tricks
Over and over again.
Good dog.
