Celebrity

They are not rich.
They have no car. 
They have no fat.
They have no dream.

They are not so-called educated persons.
They are not news.

They are struggling for existence.

They have not any exceed of life 
Which is poison. 

They live with their old parents.

They have innocent smile and intuition.

They created their poor house as rich home.

They are my celebrities.
But I am not communist.

An interesting one, Sandip. Nice to have your comment the other day! I have been so busy I am taking a long time to get back to people! I really liked the line: they created their poor house as rich home.

Sandip, you have spoken volumes, here. So many people in America are chastised for living with their parent's, but in this economy, jobs are few and getting fewer. When a family stands together, it is a wonderful and powerful thing.

In a world that gorges on celebrity worship I must say I prefer your approach.

Way to shed a light on the true stars in life! Those who go on through the ups and downs without recognition deserve an applause.
