Love Marketing

(Made in marketing class, serious one... :) )

More intense competition here
Than for anything else on earth.
Billions already caught up
More being drawn in its girth.
Love's labour lost, they say,
Likeable people are in dearth.
Biased towards exterior decoration,
Unhealthy competition stays inert.

Busy are people, nay brands,
Incessantly positioning and competing;
Making only their targets important
And leaving even friends contemplating.
Do unto others as you wish to be done
The thought leaves the poet thinking
Who follows these stupid rules,
My Lord, what were you creating?

Difficult to be equal to all,
I agree it is, and with a purpose.
But then; so is life, difficult,
Yet that is something everyone does.
Still ready to slit their throats,
Who cometh their way, O Moses!
Hope they understand someday,
Made in heaven-love-a bed of roses.

  1. haha.... hmmmmm....

    philosophy and marketing can't go hand in hand..
    if any, the answer might lie in objectivist theory..

    nice try though and the poor marketing prof assumed u were taking notes.. :D

  2. I just saw your blog for the first time. :)
    You write pretty neat buddy. That's a nice collection of poems you made. If classes inspire you to write, take a few more and you'll be famous, and probably a matyr as well. ;)

    But on a serious note, it's wonderful work, keep writing buddy...!
