Subliminal Prison

Subliminal messages driving me insane I can't seem to stop them from entering my brain When they send me their messages it's loud and clear I wonder how it's possible others can't hear I am the main target they're directed at me I'm not paranoid if you look close you will see Words to a puzzle that have been carefully placed Answers they discovered as my life has been traced They know all my habits the preferences I hold If they push the right buttons they know I'll be sold The smart phone they sold me is one of many tools I keep playing their game without knowing the rules I'm feeling helpless a little out of control Subliminal messages attacking my soul Time to reconsider what's important to me Then I can break away and become truly free With new smartphone technology they can track where we are and customize information on screens in stores to our specific interests based on our buying habits they can learn our preferences, for music fashon and types of travel as well as food and dining preferences.

EEk! Your explanation said it all. Makes me feel more like a robot or "just part of the cattle", instead of a human being. It's super intelligent, what they can do. But this kind of intelligence comes at a price... our humanity. Great topic choice Rick!

Enjoyable poem that brings up a topical subject for sure. Advertisers are a tricky bunch.

Subliminal messages come through in movies and songs as well. It is really disturbing, and your title says it all. Great write on this subject, Richard. Thanks ever so much for the visit.
