What is the meaning behind this poem.?
First, I'd never define it as a "poem." It appears more a rambling, venting stream of consciousness. Whatever the validity or invalidity of the premise, it's not a poem. However, rather grim, I'd say. Of course, I have my own views, but I'd prefer not to focus on the worst of things.
Reply:I think it means "I don't like you very much"
Reply:it could mean a lot of things but here is my own personal interpretation.



the first verse speaks of the marketing and consumerism sold by the beautiful models on television such as pretty petite blonde girls selling wrigley spearment gum, underwear, etc.



we've lost our humanity- vilified religion, gotten fixed so as not to procreate, and made ourselves very dull and uninteresting as individuals.



we're all running scared and focused on a material life even though materilism isn't really worth much more than a pile of sand. if we smell a flower it annoys us instead of the old addage- take time to stop and smell the flowers.
Reply:This poet is fed up with the crass commercialism that has become engrained in the American psyche (for example, in Morgan Spurlock's documentary "Supersize Me" more elementary school children could identify Ronald MacDonald than could recognize the current U.S. president or other prominent historical figures) and the fact that advertising jingles and slogans have replaced honest-to-goodness poetry.

The masses have creatively neutered themselves.
