The Rich and Famous

A blanket of stars sweep the coming night-- Hollywood bound-- their castles and sacred walls. Gossip and bribery become their industry tools, the crucifixes they wear-- another piece in their collection. Their ancestors may not have been so black and white, a widescreen decorated with such colourful fools, blood diamond draped gowns and endangered shawls-- printed dreams with cabbage green in sight, those raised walls must some day crumble betraying love that was once so humble, the minutes turn into hours, days, months-- a plugged in telephone does not ring once. The sky above them--a clear azure blue, yet only blackness can they ever view.
