Hollywood

A rich-only career fortress A man’s world, where others protest to impress Where you seek any progress By being a self-starved actress Where the normalcy of serial monogamy Ignores the tenets of loyalty and family Profanity has eloquence Obscenity is glamourous An industry dressed up in robes of hypocrisy So avaricious but with tears over piracy Diversity is merely for the stage Equal opportunity is caged Their life has a prescript To live for a price tag Their feelings are not distinct But they live so far away from us In world of sex and looks, always lusting for extolment
