Listen to poem:
The world is your mirror, its stage such delight, You're drunk on the elixir of endless limelight. Ceaseless is the obsession for attention. Baseless without foundation, a hollow pretension. A dazzling array of endless phase shifts, Keeps any analysis at bay in the mists. Always in your face, so hard to dismiss. Always in the media, a relentless hit-or-miss. There's no let-up, no pause for reflection. An endless light show, a blatant vivisection, Of all sucked in by the Emperor resplendent, Whose phosphorescent gall is transcendent.
