We Want It and We Want It Now

Location

Everytime we see a commercial,

advertisement or enter a store

we have the tendency to buy

and over clutter our shopping carts

 

Even though we may have gotten

extra things that wasn’t on

our shopping lists the

stores will make you leave

with a pile of new stuff

 

And to be sure the next day

you’ll come back because of

all the discounts offered to

manipulate you to shop again

and you will have a pile of

items that will look like

Mount Everest and you’ll be broke

 

Over-consumption on a regular

basics is bad because your

over spending as if it was

a shopping spree with for

some people is once a year

due to holiday specials

 

American Consumerism is

making us spend money on

items and this causes us to

go in debt and overuse our

credit cards and paychecks

The second stanza of the poem basically describes how we are being manipulated by advertisements in order to buy extra items that we may not need but are on sale.
