(sold Soul)
Look at you look at you
Look at your hair
All of your 'real' friends
Care what you wear.
Don't flash a label
No words
They just stare.
Carbon copy of the masses
No real individual flare.
▪️◾◼️◾▪️
Look at you look at you
You think you're so smooth,
Tasting my words
As someone else
shines your shoes.
Wondering
how the lyrics
Could flow like mine do.
Clout chasing
Paper chasing
A lifestyle of fools.
▪️◾◼️◾▪️
Look at you look at you
Look at your life.
More than you know what to do with
In a world filled with poverty and strife.
Take a peek at your heart
Doesn't look so nice.
Living like you do
A roll of the dice.
A chance to switch places
I wouldn't think twice.
It's a no from me
I'm trying to live right.
▪️◾◼️◾▪️
Look at you look at you
Look at your Soul.
Material possessions
Won't fill that gaping hole.
Day by day
It's taking a toll.
As more and more see your true role.
▪️◾◼️◾▪️
Look at you look at you
No really.
Just stop and look.
All this fun
that you're having.
Not a care what you took.
Enough deceit
to write a book.
Believe it or not
Selling your Soul
Doesn't take it
off the hook.

I don't understand this kind of poetry.It is stream of consciousness and really has no clear meaning.It is not even clear who is talking to whom and why.
Perhaps it's not for you to understand 🤷🏽♂️
If the messages in the work are meant for you, you will know by the way it makes you feel.
If the messages in the work are not meant for you, you will know by the way it makes you feel.
Both are perfectly fine, and as it should be.
My work won't be understood by most.
I appreciate your comment.
Happy writing!
I really like the lay of the poem. Feels like an ended relationship with materialism and the related obliviousness of the one
whose materialistic. It's funny how people cannot or refuse to see the harm they can cause by just simply being indifferent to those around them. Materialism, selfishness, soullessness. Very relatable, and based on certain critiques, a poem that proves itself true.
Great observation.
Very well said and very true.
The world could use more closed mouths and opened eyes and ears.
I appreciate your comment.
Happy writing!
There is no one righteous, not even one;
Should be a leading desire..
this poem speaks to the seeming front runner.
I appreciate your comment.
