Shady Days
I
All avenues used to dupe and conceal
Every day it’s a smaller fair playing field
Through the minefield we cross every day
Heeding each step with a feeling of dismay
II
Attracting us their way with an enticing hint
Get bent over for neglecting the fine print
All their claims are grossly overstated
Shameful practices carry forward un-abated
III
Personnel data lost through their operation
No acceptance of guilt, just complete exoneration
Shady marketing loves the foolish and naïve
Everything is designed to distract and deceive
IV
Using Complicated language to baffle and confuse
There’s no end to the sleazy things they will do
Keep your head on a swivel so you don’t get burned
Every day there is a shitty new racket to be learned
Chorus
The shady daze we live in, cruel and cold hearted
The gullible and their money will always be parted
Shylock practices used each and every day
Has the world totally abandoned fair play?

- Comment from author about the poem: Advertising insults our intelligence every day. There are predatory marketing practices going on out there with no end in sight. The young people today have to be much more informed than the generations of the past.
