Fame & Fortune
Do these words grab your attention?
Is my name enough to mention?
Snatched by a hook to the gills
Are you baited by cheap thrills?
You say we are all the same
That maybe I am to blame
That maybe it is in our nature
We all melted from the same glacier
Yet we are all individuals
With our own set of principles
You say we are unique snowflakes
With our own blessings and mistakes
That we are all that and more
And why am I a righteous bore?!
Well if we are allowed some fame
Why aren’t I allowed to complain?
Is it not our nature also to question?
An essential part to our progression?
It is easy to point a finger
But to query the inner singer?
This is ambitious and tough
Too much effort sure enough
Am I too proud to admit
We might not matter the least bit?
That these words mean nothing
Perhaps we are all just bluffing?
