David Smith Poet Light Verse

Virtual People

Are the people in adds mostly real
Or mostly virtual
With only a few who are the real deal.

Of all the multitude of adds I have seen,
Off screen,
I have never met a real dude,
Who resembles, an add dude,
Which leaves me to conclude.
That what was once was real,
Is now virtual,
With only a few the real deal.

Am I right to conclude,
Or am I wrong to take this attitude,
Until from the adds I meet a real dude.

Of course, it could be they are all real,
And are too ashamed of their deal,
To make everything appear real.

They may be wise to conclude, 
That should they meet the wrong dude,
Their virtual lie, would be known to the multitude.

Connie Marcum Wong December 16, 2018 at 8:29 PM I saw on the news how they can make people look real who are just made up. They actually look like a real person, so I understood the meaning behind this poem. It is amazing! : ) David Smith December 17, 2018 at 2:53 AM Than you for taking time to read and comment. I lament the lack of morality in advertising. I read a lot on Winston Churchill. They were warning about that in 1890's. One of his choice papers when he was still at Sand Hurst was "Advertising, Its use and abuse". Happy Holidays David in NZ
