Take a look in the mirror
Who's looking back at you?
Is it you yourself?
Or is there someone else too?

Are you yourself?
Or do you try and conform?
Why not be yourself
Be yourself and ***** the norm

Do you dress like the rest?
Do you try and be cool?
Do you buy the right clothing?
Have you sold out like a fool?

Wearin your name brand clothing
Cuz the media told you so
Those clothes were made by a kid
Some poor kid in Mexico

So take another look in that mirror
And ask who you are today?
Are you who you think you are
Or a succesful marketing sharade

Save the fact that I've no clue what "sharade" means, this is a highly perceptive and pleasant poem. Another one of those "thinking" poems that give your mind a spin before letting you see what the world looks like after a few good shakes. Indeed, fashion is a fool's charade of money wasted on display.

Keenly done.
