Activity 3. Read the poem carefully.
PROPAGANDA EXTRAVAGANZA
Desiree P. Dionsay
Propaganda is everywhere,
Opinions, perspectives, ideas which are shared beyond compare,
Propaganda all the way varies in degree,
It purposely persuades people to feel or believe in a certain way.
Various media can be its source,
Such as radio, magazine, television or news,
Issues publicize are emotionally loaded with persuasive thoughts
Thus, high expectations move nation in limitless outlooks.
Ads, campaigns, editorial that never ends,
Statements that are blatant, subtle, or humorous
Offered to us by propagandists, influencers and even plain folks,
Steering human emotions and manipulating public's decisions.
Feelings are awakened by these utterances,
Thoughts are provoked with these multi-layered inferences,
But if propaganda devices are well mastered and detected,
Only then, can we appreciate a no-nonsense world to live.
