The Ballad of the Consumer Friend

There are times you wish hadn’t come

Often, some leave you with a heavy heart

And you part ways and say goodbye

With a cosmetic smile now and then

But there are others, they come and go

And so do tides, who cares how many

Company is a shallow word, but keeps

You going as long as you don’t ask for more

What then about more? Just ha-ha-hi-hi

I see! Good job man! Awesome it is

Stinks and then the craving for fresh air

Despair, my friend, just cut the crap

All this bunkum isn’t much of anything

Sing if you may or can, if not, excuse us

So much fuss and no frills! Chill man

Be happy or pretend to be

'the consumer friend' a very interesting concept.
Hey Sam, very thoughtful work.I wouldn't say that these are my comments, simply some fragments of thought:
Can a company always be shallow?
Is consumption shallow...isn't there a purpose...not totally in the utilitarian sense although quite a bit.Doesn't this concept of consumer come into the picture when we talk about all relationships?
Chill man Be happy or pretend to be sounds chill :-)
I may pretend to be chill for the sake of my friends.If I do,will that keep out of this 'consumer friend' circle? Am I creating 'much fuss and frills'

Hmmm... I guess some relationships were always meant to be utilitarian- if every single acquaintance developed into a deep meaningful relationship, I think it would be a bit too overwhelming... what say?

lol, good one and I totally agree about these consumer friends we are surrounded by. Wouldn't say everyone is like that tho a majority of people we interact with in our daily life belong to this 'hi, bye' friends category!!

Hey, brand conscious, definitely!!!!

But then, not a shallow campaigning of well - minced words. Consumption is the eternal truth, and company the crux of life...a bit more dope on it & u understand that we seek company to keep at bay some not so nice things. What are they? You decide, Sam provides!!!
