False Idols

False Idols

Fake tits, fake hair and personality. Is this all you envisioned your life could ever be?

Famous for being famous, Towie, Geordie Shore and Celebrity BB

Fake popularity and selfie shots, leading the sheep to be false idols. They should be happy be with what they've got

They should educate primary school pupils of this in classes, the lowest common denominator influencing the masses 

The majority of these false idols don't know north from south, their pussies from their assholes or their elbows from their mouth

It's the future generations of I worry, infatuated on fame their minds easily lead and turning to slurry 

Sometimes I sit back and wonder, just what will it take? For the uneducated masses to realise that the media's a snake

It'll tice you in with fake dreams of stardom, the crimes against humanity you commit, you'll get no pardon

I see these these false idols, they need to be stopped... Someone help please!

I look at them and think they're not human, not even the same species

Am I the only one thinking aloud? Am I the coloured guy with the rucksack in the crowd?

Somehow I don't think so, something needs to be said, or individuality and free thinking is dead

When all this blows over I'll be in my fox hole, you're welcome of course but don't bring any false idols, egos or assholes

Thanks Tony, I'm glad you enjoyed it and that you pinned it. Yeah all this celebrity culture and everyone wanting to be famous for the sake of it just seems so wrong and fake to me, so I thought I'd write about it. Thanks again for your feedback.

Love and rockets to you too mate - Syd

Fantastic Syd! ??? very well executed to say the least, there is a sad reality in this of how some people are controlled into believing that this is the future! Fantastic write! ??? this reminds me of a poem I wrote a while back, it's called egos and icons, judging by this poem you will probably like ha ?
