natalia's poem of our words of the day

Media is ubiquitous.
Our eyes, ears, minds - promiscuous.
Gatekeepers hold the key
to you, the commodity.
Satirize this conglomerate
culture.
This commercialized
structure.
The cost of cool is social ill.
(are you down with the illness?)
Or do these sound like healthy ideals?

SEX.
MONEY.
APPEARANCE.

Pay attention as the
great philosophers of our time
show the light:

Be True, says Nike.
Image is Nothing, preaches Sprite.

And as you write your narrative,
Remember: you are your own stereotype.
