SILLY PUTTY NATION


Press your face to the page
and gently lift-

         your face looks just like mine today

Who will your idol be tomorrow?

Easily amused
and
easily influenced
The ads are skewed
for
consumers like you
You spend your
tips and wages
on the latest fads
spawned from the
five year plans
of a Madison Avenue empire
Then bitterly complain
about the lifestyles
you support
Told what to enjoy
by media gods
and color monitor lovers
Given the choice to vote
for varying degrees
of self-absorbed swine
You’re a faceless generation:
A silly putty nation
