I've got the new symbol. All the people said...

I've got the new symbol. All the people said, my shirt was too cold without it printed on my chest.

Without the famous celebrity. The perfume was too weak, and the bolognese sauce didn't taste so sweet!


We only want the best, all the people said, we’ll buy as much as we can and we'll never rest.

Just keep buying and buying into every next trend with no thoughts to the fact it's not just money we spend.

We spend our time on our thoughts on what brand’s the best when the clothes underneath are the same as the rest.

We don't see it because it's right in front of our eyes, in our faces judging us, telling us lies.

Making us think we should dress a certain way or telling us to think less from day to day.


We have books, knowledge formed in many ways, but we choose to watch shows to take up the days.

We relax to the sound of an electronic device, because that's where it's easiest to feed us lies and be told to have a certain way of life, to drink their drinks and eat and eat till we die.


Comfort is easy to find in a feather bed, but true comfort isn't physical. It's all in the head.

Are you truly comfy under your 3K ply? When you learn that to make it a flock of geese had to die.

When you put on your T-shirt with a designer logo, do you hear the kids scream a thousand more before we go home?

Is your water really so smart? To me, it tastes the same. You pay an arm and a leg when it falls as rain.
