Fame Shame

FAME SHAME

The world is almost blind
Everyone gone so wild
Rather chose to be crazy
Than to get a life that’s too mild

They catch instant fame
A center of attention
But behind those bright lights
Such a mad humiliation

Overwhelming mistakes
In exchange of popularity
Just to be further discussed
In a virtual online community

Reputation is forgotten
Time can heal the shame
Put your name in stardom
Your greed should be blamed
