Amazing the levels that corporate america will sink in order to make that dollar! Imagine the psychological long term effects these tactics have on our children. Needed to be said. Thanks-HB

We make most of the things we drink and all the snack food and most of the movies. So stay home with someone you love and maybe after the movie is over you can make something else? Dennis

OMG Gwen, you said it all!!! The second stanza also reminds me of how Wisconsin voted on one of our referendums on Tuesday:

Misleading advertising
Inducements for spending
Mindless compliance

But then politics is nothing more than a shopping trip, to get the public to buy, regardless of how false the advertising is.

Thanks for sharing Gwen.

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

I'll buy that for a dollar...oh yes! Let's follow the corporate whore with her dazzling array of trinkets. Brilliant write Gwen, there is much insight and wisdom within your words. Let's hope people begin to wake up to what's really going on.

Dear Gwen, Good Grief, pop up ads are embedded in the PCs now - mine is not linked to the Internet, yet I keep getting pop ups to protect my computer from viruses and so on. But your poem reminded me of my pet peeve, is the deceptive ads of corporations who abuse the word "integrity" in their mission statements. Oh, but get a magnifying glass and look at the fine print, they say, and you'll see our ad was not deceptive. David

Gwen,

What a tremendous bit of poetic lament - and exacting truth - of the decline of the once Greatest Nation on Earth.

With God out of the picture, every good and perfect gift goes, too...

Super-catchy title, Gwen!

Scary isn't it? A society once totally self-sufficient now finds themselves completely dependent upon others and other countries for our selfish needs. Could we ever go back? It's possible, but not at the rate we are now.
Thanks for the wake up!

All too true in a secular soon to be godless society if others have their way. We are digging our own graves by buying from countries like China where almost everthing you buy comes from them. We are making them a superpower with our own money, whose ambitions to rule the world are not fantasy. Our corporations have sold us out to foreign cheap labor.
