Pop Culture Poetry #1


Persuasion
(a poem convincing consumers to buy into a company)

America,
Home of the Free
Land of the consumer
Where we are told
“Buy in bulk”
“Bigger is better”
“Get more for your dollar”
And we are consumers
People that have given into:
“Just Do It”
“One Stop Shopping”
And “the next big thing”

Michigan
Home of the Fords,
North Carolina
The Wright Brothers,
And so much more,
But today what it has come down to is:
“the new iPad”
“pc mag’s best rated computer”
“the top safety pick”
“the best luxury vehicle”
People have given into companies
Without any thought,
And the persuasion of the ad
Has become the face
of America.
