There they stand in their almighty glory
feeling above the rest of mankind
in truth they are but bland and gory
yet prone in time to be defined
observed as lines and cracks appear
wealthy their true selves to hide
being afraid the media will not be near
non exposure would dent their pride!
How they play the part of the megastar
shinning their light at every chance
money keeps their egos high near and far
thinking nothing will stop their advance
some survive the power and glory of fame
many only a glimpse before the glow fades
blending into oblivion all seem the same
outside of the celebrity trades!
How many can we truly believe we admire
some grow old with grace and dignity
others controversial who have dark hearts
who seem to have untimely life endings
that cannot be explained leaving speculation
that leads to open confrontation
its said sold their souls to the devil for fame
mind-controlled who is really to blame?
Living in a another realm to the so-called fans
seem oblivious to any facts revealed
all accepted as gods who can never do wrong
for them no luxury they struggle to live
going to any lengths and prices to see their heroes
whose lives may not be as shown in media
false plastic make up covering all deceit and lies
hidden the extent of the real sacrifice!
Am I just rambling or is the truth within my thoughts?
