Fame
Some say she was always meant to be poor
She was born into abject poverty
By some strange quirk of talent … and luck
She became so renown
Everyone knows her
By her first name.
If, by some strange quirk of talent … or luck
You became so renown
That everyone knows
You by your first name
Would you forget us common folks
Who helped you along the way?
