Minus Identity: An Impossibility

It's an impossibility,
all things have an identity,
even poor John Doe is now known
by that simplest of nom de plume.

Meanwhile on the news over there
the suspect it's said has gray hair,
with a purple shirt and red hat;
what kind of fashion sense is that?!

Rain is the rain; sun is the sun,
the tallest tales are often spun
by one who has nothing but fear
and feels safe when spreading a smear.

And, so, for your information
I'm just a conglomeration

This poem has an excellent way of explaining identity. Labels, perhaps, is more accurate but the poem picks up this thought too.
