that tarnished
halo of yours
can be repaired
whether you’re
a recovering alcoholic
a mass murder
or a politician
it really doesn’t matter
our ad agency
and attorneys
can do the job
we of course start
with you
finding god
one appropirate
to the country of origin
setup some
commerical prayers
where the public
can inadvertently
see you
and
with the right
lighting
we recreate
your halo
add a divine
voice
or two
and
you’re
an instant
saint
of
course
for
a
fee
Your message here is amazing! You have painted such a powerful image of what is wrong with a society revolving around money!! The form of breaking down at the end also fits nicely with this.

I really can’t find words to express my liking for this one. All that we see around could be the efforts to frame a border on our faiths and belief.
It would be funny if it wasn’t so tragic – terrific stuff slpmartin 🙂
For an additional fee we will don you in the robe of our choice …
That one really hits home as always

That’s `criminal`! Everything has a price, eh.
I enjoyed this poem very much.
Poignant to the core! The message was strong and subtle, both at the same time! That hint of sarcasm on the tone really did it!! TOO GOOD!!!
with good fees they can even create a halo.
you are simply awesome my friend.
Cynical; but true.
another high priced poem!
we build up your reputation
depending on your contribution
millions
for overnight sensation
total wreck
for bouncing check
🙂
*chuckle*
I need an agency like this to work on me.
M.L.
meticulously played out
as if you are the adman
or madman
who plays by his own rules!
you’ve now accomplished Parnership in the Firm!!!

I think you’ve caught this very well – this corrupt, plastic society, how money can buy anything, everything, even god. Loved it!
I love the sales-pitch tone of voice…you are so good at that. And the poem, sad,sad, sad, but so true, true, unfortunately true. Heartspell
Oozing cynical distain, your words skewer your point with precision– a great write!

Strong message here Charles, loved the twist at the end!! Hugs xx
Right on. Tell it like it is. Hope all is well.
You said it all and I must say…perfectly 🙂
Oh, boy, Charles, may I learn how to take that inner journey that leads to the polish instead of melting down the gold and giving it to others.
A tight ending Martin and great poem!
And those of us without the means to pay the fee…are stuck with dirty halos…but real. Fine work, Charles.
Hahaha! Great!
Money can buy almost anything and ‘spin’ can sell almost anything. It’s such a shame that this is the way that the world works. A great poem, thanks.
