false advertising


it had a great
commercial with a
jingle you couldn't
shake, even though
you tried.

it promised to be
the answer, the
happiness, red
meat for your
empty stomach.

it wasn't cheap.
you sold your
soul for that
seductive shine.
then, you got
it.

it had great
packaging with
bullet-points
boasting features.
you almost fell for
it.

then, came all the
conditions. you discovered
it was cheap, a
bullshit product that
wasn't worth it's
price tag, and
it was a bitch
to figure out

you thought,
maybe i'll return
it, but
it was all you had.
so now, you grin and bare
it.
