The iPod

A lust for instant gratification.
As we progress, we need it,
every waking moment must be filled up,
every step has to be recorded,
there has to be a soundtrack,
for every action in this film of life.

It is our individuality,
what defines us,
our music makes us different,
from the millions of others
who listen to the same thing,
all in isolation,
The two earphones are a security blanket

If only every teenager knew,
that this device which now represents
freedom, independence and rebellion,
the symbol of their generation,
is not truly theirs to celebrate.
They are victims, unsuspecting,
to the game of marketing.
