Rebranding (for what can’t be boiled down….)

Rebranding–
(for what can’t be boiled down to
the short, catchy, and easy to buy–)

Just do it does not work
for war. No more does
have it your own way.

Righteousness, turns out,
is no sure shell;
what’s left after a bomb not
finger-licking good–Look, Ma,
no cavities
wiped away–
snap…crackle…pop….

Because impossible is not
nothing, and
yes, yes, yes,
though we want to be all
that we can be,
maybe we need, for a change,
to think different,
to think small,
to think big,
to just
think.

Here’s a sort of poem for Brian Miller’s prompt on dVerse Poets Pub about slogans. The above picture is an old Shell oil advertisement, no copyright infringement intended.  (I’m saying this counts as parody/fair use.)
