People's Lives Are Public Property

Rating: 5.0


It's sad to think that society believe they own the life of a celebrity
And when i use the term society i really mean you and me
The photo vultures never sleep
They hide in bushes where they desperately creep
No lives of there own, they invade others to live
Embarrassment and shame are the presents they give
Their conscious non existent, Their hearts made of stone
They hound innocent people in the street and in the home
Magazines, radio, tv and internet privacy spread for all to see
These people private property for the nosey society

Very very well said nicola, I agree completely, it is us buying into the spectacle that create the market for this nosey papperatzy though. I agree it can blight the lives of our golden children. We seem to raising them up, only to rip them to shreds when we have. A sad reflection indeed. I love your sid pic, his is one of my boys ya know! lol A real wild child. 10 from, Tai was a punk rocker.
