Marketing Is War

through words, without armaments.
Conventional belief is that
'the first victim of war is truth',
propaganda being it's persecutor.
In marketing there is no truth
-only advantage to the manufacturer.
Marketing is the war waged
with images that outlast all wars,
through their repetition
which make us all obese
self-consuming shadows.

War Through The Ages

War at first is like a young girl
with whom everyone wants to flirt
but by the last it is like an old woman.
All who meet her feel grieved and hurt.
-Samuel Ha-Nagid

"An Englishman's Home is His Castle"

is cliché multiplied, as much as is a lie
built up as thick and high as castle walls,
through the solidity of repetition.

Every castle in every country
in the world was built
by marauders from abroad,
to secure their new
feudal rule, post invasion.

Home governments later adopt
the building as historical amnesia
as newer locals succeed in power,
unknowingly imitating the old invasion,
the hierarchy and enmity of divide and rule.

My home is a place of rest and focus,
a temple or a palace; an invitation to share
I would invite more people there if I knew them.
