Poetry: Materialism

I sat before my vanity
Holding on to my sanity
Opening jars and tubes
Rectangles and cubes
Drowning in floral scents
Reveling in flashy tints ...

Oh, how I love makeup!

I'm a raging beauty queen
Caught perfectly in between
Fragile, high-heeled creations
Flimsy, designer temptations
I grabbed my meager bank book
To buy this season's hottest look...

I know I shouldn't be such a Material girl
A fiend for the diamond and the pearl
I lived on welfare, lived with reason
Now I hit the mall, updating by season
Please have mercy, let me live my dream
I want the glitz, the glam and the cream!

    are they really heaven sent?

    things of this world
    they do not last
    so why your lot in

    Whats mine is mine,
    Whats yours you can keep,
    If you borrow-return it,
    Otherwise-no sleep.

    I've worked hard to get it,

    Grande Designs

    All perfect packaging,
    In the displays of
    Psychedelia and stark.
    Inaccessible and utterly unique,
    Snobbish hysteria.
    Strange
