So... Why Do So MANY CHASE...
What People Call... FAME... ???

To Have Their Face...
Become A... “ Household Name “... !?!

Or To Earn That Pay...
That Makes Others Say...

"I wish I could be,
like them one day !"

But It's A Funny Old Game...
That FEEDS... JEALOUSY... !!!

Who Has The MOST Fans... ???
And The HOTTEST Piece of ***... !!!!

Or... Men Who'd BEG...
For A Night of ***... !!!
With A Famous Pair of Legs...
Whose Famed For SHOWING THEM... !?!

Or Maybe For These GROUPIES...
Who'll... OPEN Up Their *****... !!!

Because of FAME That Brings...
PALATIAL... Surroundings.... !!?!!

But What REALLY Is FAME... ?

A Life Seeing The WORLD...
Because of Certain Work...
Where Chickens...

... "  **** and Twerk’  "... !!?!!

Where Acting's SEEN As WORK...
That Has MORE SOCIAL WORTH...
Than Those Who Choose To Nurse...
For People Who Are... HURT... ?!?

I Wonder.... YES I Do... !?!
Is Fame REALLY That Cool... ?!?

I Think That There Are Heads...
Whose Work DESERVES...

... MORE PRESS... !!!!

Than Heads Some Place On STEEPLES... ?!?
When They Are... Simply PEOPLE... !!!!!

You See INFAMY Like FAME...
Applies To... CERTAIN Names...
Whose Fame Is Born From SHAME... !!!!!

Because of What They've Done...
To Become THAT SOMEONE...
Who People FEARED..... !!!!!
Because They STEERED...

Themselves To RULE Kingdoms... !!!!!

YES They Are Famous TOO... !!!!
But NOT For Being COOL... !!!!

It's Relative I Guess...
What Makes Someone...
... " FAMOUS "... ???

I Think That GREAT PARENTS...
Who'd Rather Choose To Spend...
Their Time RAISING Children...

Are Worthy of MORE FAME...
Than MOST Who Now Can CLAIM...
To Have A... " FAMOUS NAME "... !!!!!

That People Now ADORE...
Because They Wrote GREAT Scores... !!!
That WARRANTED Applause...

Like Those Who Get Awards...
For EXCELLING In Their Sport...

Fame They've GAINED...
For ENDURING PAIN...
And Working HARD...
To Make Their MARK... !!!

While Others Stall.
And Fall well short...
of... What It IS...
To Be The ONE Who WINS... !!!

Who Does AMAZING Things... !!!!!!

... FAME WELL DESERVED...
Because of Their HARD WORK... !!!!!

But Is Fame A Thing...
WORTHY of... " Kings "... ???

When Those Who've Made...
... ILL GOTTEN Gains... !!!
Stand NEXT To Those...
Whose Fame Has GROWN...

From MORE Than CASH...
And What They... OWN... !!!

As I Said Before....
I Think of THOSE...
Who Contribute MORE... !!!
Than FANCY SHOWS...
To Get THAT DOUGH... !!!!!!!!!

There Are Famous Folks...
Who Are NOT Well Known...

Because What They DO...
ISN'T For NICE Shoes... !!!

Or To IMPRESS Crews...
Who Follow Their Moves...

Their Fame Requires...
NO Money or DESIRE...
To Be SEEN Or ADORED...
Or Treated Like A LORD...  !!!

Humility It Seems...
Is Something FAMOUS Peeps'...
DON'T Seem To Be SO KEEN......
To....... Embrace........
... Within Their Dreams...

Or In... ACTUALITY... !!!!

Fame Should Be For MUCH MORE...
Than Acting Like Some *****... !!!

Or Fighting... In A War...
Where KILLING Gets APPLAUSE... ?!?!?

I Think It's... ALL ASKEW...
How Fame Has Become Viewed... !!!

It Really Is A GAME...
That's FUNNY And INSANE... !?!?!

So Be CAREFUL What You WISH For... !!!
When It Comes To... GETTING...

........... " FAME "..........
These days I think that there really is, NO Funnier Game, than ... " The Fame Game " ... !!!!
