And Ode,To a Celebrity

Oh,Celebrity'
Celebrity'
You are no better than me

You're money
You're looks 
You're flashy car
But
That doesn't say who you really are

I give you props for what you do
And
How you pretend to be someone knew

If you peel your layers 
You're an average person, you see
Just like me

Your big house up in the hills
All the parties you go to, for the thrills

The body you paid to keep that way
What does all this have to say?

You're a celebrity in the spot light
And 
Thats what you will always be
But
You're still no better than me

Money and fame don't make the person, Its what we do who we affect is how w are judged when all is said and done...just my thoughts....Michael
