Conspicuous consumption

Shopping spree
gluttony for brands trickling
seeping down the blood stream
augmenting the conspicuous devouring



Designer logo, signature good
just to hoodwink the Halo Effect.
Yearning for the conform look
to 'fit in' the nifty sect

Squandering on gratuitous consumption
or emulating the fad
lacking gumption
differing tad





Fearing to be stereotyped
conscious in choosing the 'packaging'.
in battling "self-concept" and "abidance"
losing their individuality.
