Snobs

Snobs

                                                    Just look at them
                                    Polar opposites of those who idolize 
                                                  A gala dinner party 
                                                        Full of them
                               Spilling onto the terrace and pool grounds 
                                    Some with wealth - Few of rich means
                                                   Not all Illuminati 
                                                 Many willing to sell
                                                    Mortgage souls
                                       If only the invite was extended 
                                                        The Snobs
                                                Valet parked status
                                               Oversized diamonds
                                               No attachment to joy
                                      Wardrobe poor - People pleasing
                                         Men masquerading as men 
                                                       Manly men 
                                               Secretly... Willing to bow
                                           Bend - Kneel - Kiss the ring
                                    All for the next exclusionary level
                                                          Snobs
                                                     Delusionally
                                                      Forgetting 
                                                  Ashes-to-ashes 
                             As egos inflate like helium filled balloons
                               With each new cherished introduction 
                                            Glitz - Glamour - Gloss 
                                           Chariots to crystal ice bars
                                             As cocktails invigorate 
                                                      And deceive
                                                      The envied 
                                                      The chosen
                                                       Privileged 
                                                      The Snobs
