Ads Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Ads

We are fools.
We are dumb.

We love life in the husk,
in cocoon, in penthouse
in palace, coconut.

Unlike past
we avoid pilgrimage
religious, ritual
tradition, cultural.

We use tools to cover
our ears and our eyes…

Our spoons and portions
isolate, single out
in public penthouse, husk.

They meant lot,
were very precious
as can be the bridge
for the road, on rivers.

People met
People talked
People learned
People taught
and people
avoided the fooling
cheating, theft

It sure was unlike now
ads are meant to fool us.

At the end
Overall…
