Elevated Status

Well heeled prove worth accumulating items 
Excess possessions symbolise hierarchy
Available funds allow aristocrat to buy them
Unwittingly sitting in prison of patriarchy
Drawn lustily to slope of have it all quagmire
Lay claim on the latest, insatiable aspire

Managing menagerie of restless investment
Inhibits by dictating subsequent strategy
On hold, breath held in waiting for a best yet
Comparitively impressive, an odd flattery
Asset gain brings accolades, remote admire
Burgeon of wealth paled by pull of desire

Hi Sigrid, I get this totally, and so do the designers, but not the buyers, mutton dressed up as lamb, I’ve seen inferior rip-offs look better on some people, what’s underneath is the important thing, I know what turns my head, and it’s not designer clothing, your inimitable poetry does, cheers David
