Fame and Fortune
FAME & FORTUNE
It`s apparent that fame & fortune,
have no boundaries or limits.
Both young & seasoned,
are lured to embrace this game.
We are all human,
indeed without a doubt.
It`s appalling to see souls traded,
for pieces of twisted illusion.
Brothers sisters mothers fathers,
tread carefully sidestep this folly.
When all is said & done,
who`s going to wipe away your tears?
Then dress your self inflicted wounds?
Ask yourself is it worth it,
tell yourself there`s hardly worth in it.
Nobody resents success,
but remember it`a process.
One that`s painstaking,
all the more backbreaking.
