It is raining offers,
The skies have opened up.
People with deep coffers,
Are pushing their products!
All things needed for life!
Reason for life itself!
Things I can't live without,
Which, till now, I didn't have!
Existence was a void,
Which now needs to be filled;
Can't think of life devoid
Of vital essentials!
The ads scream out at me,
I'm missing out on life!
Missing prosperity,
I reach out for my purse!
All my wishes are Wants,
All my Wants, desperate Needs!
All my Needs are for Now.
And Now is but a click!
All the products are rushed,
I consume by the morrow!
Once I buy and it's reached,
My hunger is for more!
More begat want for more,
A pity, could've bought more!
I just bought the day before,
Sigh! Yesterday is gone!
There'll be no void in life,
Since all gaps will be filled,
With things that I can buy,
Now I feel fulfilled!
