LIKE IT OR NOT

World is an advertisement
film.
Either in the night
or in the day time
take a walk down the
streets of a city preferably
in a star-lit, moon-lit
night.
Banners, posters, flex-boards all along
business-establishments in
every nook and corner, surging
faceless crowds
be it in multiplexes,
shops, beverages, banks
be it everywhere, the
case is same.
The world is an advertisement
film.
Trains blaring horns
buses, cars, auto
taxis plying along
hooting and tooting
signals red, green and yellow
flashing round the clock,
the city pulsates
the city throbs
the city vibrates
people like flies to
fire
enamoured of
catching advertisements of various
products
with celebrities playing the roles
of ambassadors
rush to the city
throng the business establishments
and empty the pockets
‘where words are from
heart let it be louder’
thus goes an advertisement.
World is after all an
advertisement film.
Commercialism is the catchword
these days and we
fall for it,
like it or not
even a smile an advertisement these days.
