COMMERCIALISM

Throughout a program playing so
Or the streaming of a show,
Commercials advertise the new...
Broadcasting to me and you.

Only seconds long, they toss
Their message out to get across.
Straightforward - sometimes with humour
To appeal to the consumer.

Marketed products for sale...
New lines of recent retail.
Variations of a flavour
Or something similar to savour.

Through jingles and spoken word...
Business making itself heard.
Near future events of outing
Made aware of - without shouting.

Samples of what can be seen 
Coming soon to the big screen.
What television has in store
On channels, services and more.

Commercials may often employ
A sense of delay and annoy.
Still, their purpose is promotion...
It is our choice to make notion.
