Xeno Hemlock

That prize you acquired without even sweating
Possesses very little to no meaning.
Lighter than feather, value is nix.
You’re much better off collecting sticks.

Stubborn you are, flashing those bling-bling.
The impact though is like that of nose rings.
Kid yourself but nobody’s impressed.
People don’t care. Only you are obsessed.
