Poem: Less Than

Poem: Less Than

You hear the noise.

It’s in your ears.

Designer this.

Designer that.

I got to have the best.

I’m wearing the best.

Words and proclamations

litter the airwaves

and dominate everyday life.

And, here you are.

You don’t cave in

to the fancier things in life.

Your consideration involves

necessity and functionality.

Does this make you less than?

Some may say yes.

Others may say no.

But, you can’t help but feel less than.
