Stardom

Stardom, Recognition, goes together Yet, are distant in every way In years gone by, you needed talent And a life style without going astray Stardom is not a given right It is earned in the profession one chooses Through dedication and hard work They become winners and seldom losers The stars were put on pedestals Helped us forget our strife While all the time just acting Trying to portray real life That’s the way it was So many long years ago When we fell in love with them Before and after each show But today they reach Stardom Doing whatever they please While writers and producers Issue scripts so full of sleaze Many have found Recognition Through booze and drugs as well When they are pulled over They tell authority to “Go To Hell” We certainly deserve better To pass on to our youth We need those old time ethics To stand along with truth But we the fans are also at fault We pay to see their every move Maybe we should hold back somewhat Until their lives improve Michael Christopher Daly April 18, 2008
