“Fancy labels and plastic smiles,
Too good to be true,
Are these new pair of shoes,
Design cliches and marketing lies,
That fooled me thrice,
And will again;
Offers and brand deals,
And celebrity endorsements,
All to sell a cheap bottle of perfume.
They are indeed too good to be true.”
This is wonderful, a very relatable sentiment in this current economic climate. I especially love the shape of this poem. The hourglass figure that this poem takes makes me visualise the very bottle of perfume the poem’s climax reveals. Wonderful writing.
