ONE MILLION BLIND, ONE CAN SEE

ONE MILLION BLIND, ONE CAN SEE

When Celebrities try to tell you what you're doing wrong...

Did they take a moment to try and understand you?

Of course not...

They're the Celebrity...

Do we care to remember what they're even famous for?

Were they able to carry their image for the rest of their life?

Was it our Privilege? 

Our Gift when they really show who they are?

People want to believe we waste time on people...

We waste time on our haters...

Haters hate...

They're not wasting their time on you...

They only wish you dead...

The same message out of Celebrities and then cry...

We're losing our supporters...

Then they wonder why?

People support the things they believe in...

They appreciate a Choice?

When that feeling is mutual...

Don't mind us...

We just cut through the noise...

Hello Sparrowsong hope all is well with you. 
Your poem hits this readers mark and then some with spades.
For celebrity culture in today's modern age once seemed endemic but  fans/followers/wannabees eventually wise up, see the light or even better see the true worth of a celeb when his/her mask slips.
Love your delicious closing line, for that's worth five stars alone! 

And a wise person once said..
Celebrity-worship and hero worship should not be confused.
Yet we confuse them every day, and by doing so we come dangerously close to depriving ourselves of all real models. We lose sight of the men and women who do not simply seem great because they are famous but famous because they are great.

And Sparrowsong have you read J.K Rowling's (who held a dignified silence for seven years) recent stinging social response to Emma Watson trans rights/gender identity row, after Emma's constant death by a thousand cuts sniping, badgering remarks on any media platform available against Rowling which went on for many years.
Wow! Talk about putting somebody in their place.
See you soon Sparrowsong and all the best to you and your pen :)

Agree completely with your words and Shauns S. People with huge egos have never deserved worship in my opinion and so can honestly say I could never understand the fad !  Great write x

Hey Ice Queen, I'm good and hope you are doing fine too.
 I'm Welsh for the record and thank you for asking- and living in its capital city, a media city called Cardiff.
My support is always there after recent events and will soon have time off to catch up and visit your poetry neighbourhood with honourable intentions.
In fact I'm going to visit one now I fleetingly read recently with Peter Gabriels Sledgehammer attached.
And that was off his album called So and Sparrowsong there's Mercy Street on there as well about a fellow countrywoman and poet of yours named Anne Sexton.
Anyway, am I wittering on here?... most probably.
Great poem and you say it as you see it and respect to you for doing that :)
