From Such Admiration

These big screen and t v personalities so many admire And of singing their praises never seem to tire From such admiration big egos are grown By people who do not seem to have lives of their own These rappers and rock stars and pop stars we hear all about Their fans in their delirium their love for them shout I must not be with it an odd ageing man Not to have any celebrity as a fan Fan worship big egos in the celebrities inspire There are those born to be admired and those born to admire Since they have thousands of people chanting their name For their swollen egos them one hardly can blame Their fans in their thousands their praises do sing Making small gods of mortals to many their in thing The celebrities to millions are the egotistical to me Suppose we all cannot be celebrity fans is how it seems to be In a World where millions are living in extreme poverty The egotistical celebrities are day and night on t v Their fans may be in the millions but in truth I can say That any humility from their sort does seem far away To any celebrity fan club I never belong Many my way of thinking would see as all wrong But then a weed to many to a few is a rose And everyone not born to be a celebrity or a celebrity fan one does have to suppose.
