Fame

Inspired and dedicated to the famous, to the Royal families, to the actors and actresses, and pop stars, who live lives of Uncharishable Fame. "Fame is a struggle and the lives that surround it are not happy." - Christopher Boskovski Fame, have you ever walked down the streets of stars? Have you stood on a stage with a beam of spotlight on you at center stage, delivering a sweet monolouge of peace and love? Fame, do you know how it feels to be followed along city streets, and bustling cafes by flashing lights, and Poperazzi? You strike a pose, you sign an autograph, and you are late for a dinner reservation. You grow dark, and hungry and you seem not so happy, but yet you smile? Fame, do you like to be famous? Is it a fun life to live? Somedays living in Mansions and others out of the suitcase. Somedays eating lobster by the bay, and others, cold pizza on Saturday. Are you misreable, not knowing the womanthat you love, loves you back, or loves your wallet that is so fat? Books upon books of love poems staked towers of romance that scrambles your brain, and leaves you with tears of sorrow in your eyes. Fame, enough of the fake smiles and red carpet wardrobes and be true to yourself. Stop and smell the morning roses that bloom, walk through the parks with smiling faces on every corner, before all that beauty goes away. Fame you don't see color, you see black and white. Contracts, nothing about love, only about wages. Live life, before everything around you dies. Be happy and true. I ask you fame, come away from your money and expensive cars and cell phones and live life, instead of living a fabricated one. Read a book of poetry, that shows true beauty. Stop making yourself happy, reading tabloid viewings, in morning newspapers of yourself. Look in the mirror and smile. Fame, I tell you now, you are not happy. Come with me take my hand, and sail with me. For Fame, I shall show you a golden dream in reality.
