Fame

Amidst the glistening sunshine Along the golden beaches A place of fame and wonder And of enormous riches The long for certain accolades To earn world-wide acclaim For power that’s seductive For life, that’s free of pain But what is there awaiting An existence that is false Artificial affection Becomes their daily role The praise becomes alluring But with them, comes a price A lifestyle that is pressured Their stardom is their vice The artists, they continue to outdo themselves Their mere sustainability Becomes an earthly hell They hide inside their mansions Absorbed inside their own pain Because everyone is only interested In their wealth and their fame They’re not even entitled to have some private moments Because the paparazzi is surely somewhere roaming So, let’s respect our artists Their lives aren’t what they seem Although on the surface They look like splendid dreams
