Author's note:
This is my advice for all of you out there who've been waiting all-year for this holiday shopping season to befall us. Well, it's here; but, I'm here just to give you some insight, to make sure that you don't become just another victim of the industries which feed off of our pockets.
Brand-Names!!!
For some strange reason, we all love to don designer labels, to bear another man’s name.
It could be Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, or Louis Vuitton, wanting to be owned is the same.
We are all victims of our own self-enslavement, to these big-time corporations.
We give them our money without question; we represent consumer generations.
It’s sad how we need allow the names on our clothes to determine our self-worth.
We are only valued as a sale, a fashion serf, tied to the the label of a greedy designer baron.
We place so much importance on brands that do nothing for our communities or children.
These brands project lifestyles that most of their consumers would never be able to afford.
But, the image of wealth & status in our society is appealing; we just want to be on board.
It’s sad how we need allow the names on our clothes to determine our self-worth.
These fashion pariahs only want our money; they need us to stay at a lowly societal rank.
We waste our money on brand names, while these people laugh all the way to the bank.
Their only concern is what they can get out of our pockets; it’s the reality we must know.
Buying these name brands are one of the reasons our communities don’t prosper & grow.
It’s sad how we need allow the names on our clothes to determine our self-worth.
It is high time to take ownership of one’s own self back!!!
Don’t allow these brand names to own you, that’s wack!!!
We must love & dignify ourselves enough not to enslave ourselves to brand names!!!
If this cycle doesn’t end soon, we’ll continue to be senseless, fashion-crazed lames!!!
