Obtained Fame Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

People get to pay,
For their obtained fame.

Yet others fantasized,
What it's like to live their lives.

People get to pay,
For fame that 'others' claim.

To have them criticized,
With it done to them despised.

People get to pay for any success that they get.
As no one thinks about their sacrificing doing it.
And those with noses wish to sniff a round a lot,
To see what they possess and the 'things' they've got.

People get to pay,
For their obtained fame.

To have them criticized,
With it done to them despised.

People get to pay for any success they may get.
As no one thinks about the sacrificing to do it.

People get to pay,
For a fame to them claimed.

To have them fantasized,
What it's like to live their lives.

And those with noses sniffing done to do a lot,
To see what they possess and the 'things' they've got.
Are disappointed when reality to them hits,
That those who may achieve a fame are not declaring it.
And often just to do a thing to get it done,
Is success enough without possessions that stun.

People get to pay,
For their obtained fame.

Yet others fantasized,
What it's like to live their lives.

People get to pay,
For fame that 'others' claim.

To have them criticized.
Because they don't possess to just impress...
With things.
Because they don't possess to just impress...
With bling.
Because they don't impress with their success.
Or...
Think about it to do to address.
