Shelter – Consumer (1993)

"While contemplateing the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment for them, and from such attachments lust develops, and from lust anger arises. From anger complete delusion arises, and from delusion, bewilderment of memory. When memory is bewildered, intelligence is lost, and when intelligence is lost, one falls down again into the material pool." (Bhagavad-gita 2.62-63)

Magazines fill the aisles for hobbies, clothes and styles. Selling us more all the while. Commercials tell us what to acquire - planting seeds of desire. Pouring oil on the fire. The consumer always pays the fee with great hope and anxiety. But he's always left wanting more. We're all hungry that's agreed but we don't know what we need. You see there's more than just this body to feed. Advertisers create false necessities. Send us out on shopping sprees. "One more thing that's all we'll need." Sex sells: billboards rely on it. Any product with some woman trying it. Are you laughing or are you buying it? (I'm no consumer.)
