I sit and contemplate
About all the advertising
We hear about things we
Have no need for or a
Perceived need. We are
Who we are even if we have
A double chin or a flabby neck.
We hear of all kinds of deals
On food and then ads that
Encourage us to buy products
That will help us slim down.
All of this would be fine, I feel
If things were somewhat equal
Around the world. Dictators keep
Their citizens (slaves) hungry and
Keep our donated food and drink from
Them. We see holocaust survivors
Scratching the soil for food and picking
Up nuts like acorns for their cuisine.
Their needs are advertised also and
There hope is that we with so much
Respond in a neighborly way. Jesus told
Us what to do and we should follow Him
And not worry about our nail polish and
Hair color or the clothes we wear.
