Mob Psychology Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

It's often thought "mob psychology" is limited to when the crowd go berserk
Every norm and every sense of discipline undressed
And the crowd becomes one big monster
Causing havoc to the path of certainty
But in the world today
Mob psychology is a tool for the rich
Capitalism thrives on mob psychology
Every advert taps in the field of mob psychology
And every latest gadget targets the faculty of mob psychology within our brains
It's true many are unaware of the "constructed reality" around them
The tentacles of capitalism stretches into the bedrooms of our psyche
Every calendar day is an opportunity to excavate deep into our psyche
And open the "animalistic" part of our brains
Where "common sense" is absent
And chaos is the order of the day
It is not unusual for people to enter a manic state
Forfeiting every sense of responsibility and discipline
Because of these "hands free" dissections into our brains
It is common for people to make choices they don't want
It's the power of "Operation Mob psychology" (advertisement / marketing)
