Mediated world.Medicated people.Moderated for content.
Cult of Personality now becomes Religion of Celebrities!
Images of fleeting fame flicker fast past us
filling frames@fashion awards-we ask
"what is your contribution to Western Civilization?"
They reply-"Talk to my Press Agent!"
You see them in smiles and shark suits,sitting by mikes
with gleaming dental work and canned applause
They are being interviewed about their views
on world peace or Haiti and their new Benefit Cd
which will place them within the demographics of instant fame
perpetuated by permanent paparazzi
trailing them like chemtrails in a Texas sky
Now a new breed is following them-Celebritologists!
They who earn their living off those earning a living off us
They report on their miniature dogs and drug habits
who is canoodling with who and Tiger Woods irons
until gossip becomes a supermarket of headlines
and we forget we have our own lives to live
We are led and we follow in the footsteps of celebrities
medicated,like Michael Jackson,mediated like Tiger Woods
a casualty list of dysfunctional personalities
until the image in our mirrors is a borrowed one
and we have to return our reflections like 3D glasses
