Fake Fame

CATEGORY

life

Views: 183

I took some time to read other people’s words

Learned all sorts of things that I never ever heard

I’d rate most first, others second and the third

Thought I was fly, but eventually realized I’m just another bird

Unique but not special or the best

Just pretended then offended my ego in jest

I’ve never taken life or myself too seriously 

I understand the brevity of life curiously

As each of my favorite rappers just a few years my senior

Pass away, each day it slightly changes my demeanure

Had they never spit or had a hit

Would they still be alive or would this still be it?

Fast life, cash, gold, and VIP liquids and barbiturates

When the fame no longer remains so goes all your constituents

Before I go, let me leave you with this

Remember back when people used to be really famous?

Not 15 minutes of lame-less

So talented every house in the county knew your name

Nowadays people become rich and famous virtually without using their brain

No skill or record deal, but they recorded a video that makes people feel

Going viral, in denial, making millions, it’s not real

And BAM! Goes the hammer on the nail's head! Just like the O'Jays put it, "for the love of money". Folk will do most anything. Excellent write Nosajm.

Wow! Write on Nosajm! With this "hit" you won't get rich...but you've put that other "????" in the ditch shootling truth through the roof! May we poets ever remember our purpose...to spread the "richness" of the word of truth. Thanks for this powerful share. Peace and Love, mlowe5
