Hollywood Freaks

glittering gold crosses adorning muscled, tanned bodies endlessly liposuctioned into Versace worshipping the almighty dollar as they cruise the golden boulevard disciples of Bentley and Rolls paying lip service to the lord with collagen smiles gracing plastic personas attending parties in mansions of champagne pools served cocaine hor d'oeuvres Hollywood freaks housed in elegance furnished by fantasy friendships built on lure reputations a headline image a status symbol marriages made in Vegas heaven Elvis holds the key to Graceland divorces like seven elevens dotting every corner littering the landscape with strewn lives broken families and values throw away children interchangeable, designer values learned upon Hollywood's stage too rich, too famous brilliant birthright or ultimate demise see Paris smile oozing techno melodies enhanced vibrations for adoring consumption preparing to tousle on silken sheets taped erotica, enjoyed and outrageous sensationalism sold and eaten whole triviality for the world to eat up fodder for the eyes and mind narcotic of unfulfilled aspirations of the young and easily beguiled rap kings with wordy crowns in bullet proof vests turf wars fed silvery bullets embellished and devoured anti-establishment encouraged women bartered, raped in words advocated sentiments that churn within little minds arise, listen to the lies hidden within a P Diddy smile as body guards wade through the fray protecting the now for an uncertain future fooled, seduced by ironic images distorted for our entertainment Hollywood freaks proving that all that glitters is not truly gold!
