Celebrity

Celebrity
a certain kind of individual 
who views his life as pivotal 
to his fans always residual
no matter how gory the visual
of violet red and blue
somber hues color his “boo”
or all those who misconstrue
his looks and dance moves as virtue
dare to unveil the wretched truth 
and time will only serve the news 
that tinsel town’s beloved muse 
could be just as screwed up as you.
