The Hidden Persuader
Leave me alone!
I won't buy what is not my taste,
Go sell to another for my eyes hope
And searches for another that satisfies.
Don't entice me with your sugar coated
Tongue full of lies and deceit,
Don't deceive me with your words.
Advertise to that woman over there
Maybe you can control her choice,
But you can't control mine evenly,
I want a pepsi not Coca Cola.
Don't persuade me to go against
My will, you hidden persuader.
I don't look at any face to make decision
Neither do I burn bridges I may need to cross again.
As far as possible, I see to everything myself,
You cannot take advantages of my emotions,
I don't need your security and fame
You make me believe I need and want your product,
But I don't really need it, my dear,
I don't want it, don't manipulate my innocent feelings.
Leave me alone!
You hidden persuader, reaping from where you didn't
Sow.
All your promises on the products are lies
And your lies create fear and doubt in me.
Advertisers are liars, the promise of their products
Are never true as they claim to be.
(C)John Chizoba Vincent
