Happy Friday, good people. So is it just me, or are TV ads becoming deeper than they were before? Perfect example, this Levi's commercial which features the poem "The Laughing Heart" by Charles Bukowski. Check it out:
See also the actual poem below:
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.
-- by Charles Bukowski
I've found some other good ones that I've found out there, but this is a good one that gives us something to think about as we head into the weekend. I hope you enjoy it...the poem and the weekend...both are good times.
Cheers,
JIP
