Materialistic Scam

We all dress to impress or charm to lure, sometimes we put on a pose to attract. It’s what comes underneath is all we cannot see. Life not only is more materialistic. But so is man turning into materialism too. The way we feel, we act we say.

Of all the things

I wanted to be

I am no more than

A head full of hair

The clothes that I wear

And the shoes

I live in!…

I never put on a pose

My house is clutter free

It’s the way I like it to be

I don’t need to put on the charm

I never intend that harm

I don’t need a painted face

My life is full of grace

Giving to people who I really am

Is worth more than

A materialistic scam!

I agree, I hate pretence.

I’m not one to put on airs either. People can either accept me as I am or they can move on.

Materials are immaterial!

Hi, Suzan.
I like it! Good job. I certainly agree — I am who I am, and I don’t present myself in any other way. If that means I’ll be attractive to only a certain few, then at least I know that they like the real me.
