Subliminal Rejection Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Words to use them,
Is just one of many tools.
To manipulate and abuse,
Minds limited to images.
And quick to pick,
Labels to identify differences.

Subliminal rejection.
Marketing symbols to notice.
And to them instantly qualify,
An activity taking place.
That successfully connects,
To an emotion stimulating...
The reaction to expect.
Affecting.
And effectively accepted.
By those who test,
What keeps others upset.

Done to repeatedly do...
With an ease to further,
Confine their minds...
To a place and time gone.
No longer to exist.
But kept,
Subliminally revisited.
Remaining to reminisce,
Is...
The rejection of it inflicted!
Known to implement.
When and where and why!
