Advertising

Old, not ancient

The product of marketing

Created and established brands

Made them into powerhouses

Made them wealthy and successful

Slowly,

started to conquer the world unknowingly over the years

infected it with it’s poison

and controlled innocent minds.

It’s the year 2022,

old ads had class and maturity

and were enjoyable while depicting meaning.

Made with passion

not with profit in mind

Now, are meaningless and senseless

will be forgotten with years to come

Invading individuals

forcing to buy shit they don’t need

Using biassed minds for growth

Being worshipped by marketing

Being worshipped by brands

Being worshipped by middle-class individuals

Advertising will become a religion

Will create cults

A person who will be despised

A society no one wants

A country which will be hated

A planet which will be unlivable.
