Why Are

Why are wealthy celebrities and well known sportspeople so greatly admired Of listening to people singing their praises i for one do grow tired Of their sort in any way i do not feel inspired As some would say they leave a lot for to be desired To make heroes and heroines out of the privileged does seem strange to me In a World where many live in extreme poverty The admiration of celebrities has become an in thing In a World where the praises of those who help the poor few do bother to sing A World where many have their material gains on public display Is a sad reflection on us only true to say Since so many are losing out on the social divide And the gap between the wealthy and poor does keep growing ever wide You will not find many multi millionaires who drive expensive cars Enjoying a few beers in working class bars.
