A Poem by Dupur Mitra



All advertisements are beautiful.

All advertisements,

model girl and boys on the bill boards are so nice.

their laugh,
face,
body

everything is beautiful.

Even the poor people,
advertisement for aids,
are beautiful.

but no faces are real,
even their laugh and also the poor people are not true.

These are only advertisements.

Only advertisement are real.

Advertisement can hide everything,

also the human civilization.

Wow, you have honestly changed the way I'm going to look at Advertisements. This was a fantastic poem. You took something that people see everyday, and made it something that we all didn't realize.

I love yourpoetry. The way you express yourself is unique. You point out the beauty in advertising and then its untruth.

You have taken social aim at our corporate world, the true power guiding the destiny of humanity and it is a courageous piece. I question one line because of one word "even their laugh and also the poor people are no true" and ask is it "so true" or "not true?"
I truly enjoyed this and it could even be expanded because advertising sets the standards for success or failure, beauty or commonness, etc. Very nice job. I like this very much.

thnx for ur review it will be not true.
I liked the message and overall composition of the poem except for the last line. It's not conclusive and feels grossly out of place. Just my opinion. Liked the rest though!

I think I understand the message behind this. Correct me if I am wrong though because I could be way off track. The people in the advertisements are putting on a "act" and are trying to be appealing when in fact they are the complete opposite of what they truly are. I am confusing myself. >.< Anyway I think I do understand and this was a good poem.
