Chaining Labels

Why
 do we 
chain labels
to others
 to be read
deleted products
on shelves
 stagnant
not worth 
the cost
reduced for 
a bargain
Who's to say
It's the price
we pay
feeling better
and superior
with illusions
that labeling
ourselves
pricier
will catch
profits
but when
scanned
the worth
is similar
comparable
with 
the other
we are
no better
what we chain
with a label
we ourselves 
are chained
in ignorance
with a hefty
price tag
attached
and no
buyers
of our
worthless
labels
chained
to ourselves
