Precarious Lives

Public Figures live a life that is filled with angst
and paranoia, always wondering where
their enemies are, so they experience ambivalence
when venturing far,

Naysayers often crawl out from the woodworks,
taunting and acting like jerks,
The perks they get from notoriety is pale in
comparison to the anxiety overzealous people bring,

A precarious life is what they look forward to,
so their lives is based on being impromptu,
Often wondering who is trying to get through
their walls of high tech security and fear.........
