Bitter Truth

Quit the dreams in films
lo kin of grim,its all reached 
the brim.
Tears and fears don't 
discriminate.
Fancy cars and dresses,the 
faces portray
Dirty linen they wash on a 
hidden tray.

You strived to prosper
And yet died like a pauper
Wild indeed was your life in 
the fast lane,
Its now all gone,like 
crashed plane.
Autopsy;A failed pursuit of 
fame.

Darling sisters who's eyes 
are after the diamond ring,
'Just wait a little longer,its 
now at the border,he says'
A lie or two he's 
said,waiting to get you laid.
'I just talked to the 
architect,he says'
All the sweet talk is now 
plain.

Alas!,Here you come 
again,in another life
The Movies still air with flair
This time bigger than they 
were,
And yet again the diamond 
ring has  lured a sister.
It is 'truth',not 'truths',so 
are you listening to his 
second truth?
