The Price of Fame
Some men are born to be famed;
Others acquired fame, thru dirty game!
Some men wouldn't want fame,
But the fame was thrust upon them, with acclaim!
Many would risk all to have fame;
But, few would steal fame, without shame!
As for GMA, she was born to be famed;
Thru her dirty game, she had risk all for fame
By stealing votes, without shame!
Her sweet "Hello Garci! " on the phone
Causes turmoil, that roils the nation's icon!
As for FPJ, he was born to be famed;
Not by dirty game,
But thru roles he framed;
He had not shame for fame, but acclaimed
By million votes, he claimed;
And he died, without the victory he gained!
It is not only a dame to blame;
Find the other culprits, which played the dirty game;
That put the country into the limelight, of shame!
What's to gain of being famed, if acquired thru dirty game?
Guess what? Only lasting shame, to your name!
