People seem to seek fame more
Than they ever truly did before.
The Kardashians, example one,
Lacking any talent, none,
Embrace infamy instead
Becoming something we all dread.
Lacking skills so glorious
They prefer being notorious.
A sex tape carefully divulged
A sordid love affair indulged.
I hope one day they’re relegated
To the cess pool they instigated.
Forgotten like they deserve,
We’ll remember instead the brave who serve,
And those who really entertain
Or leave a legacy humane.
The great and good, the loving kind.
Who die but leave great works behind.
For those we should truly weep
And the notorious we’ll bury deep.

“I hope one day they’re relegated
To the cess pool they instigated.” Love this line. Enjoyed your poem very much. 🙂

Thank you very much. I enjoyed writing it, as long as I don’t get sued for defamation 😉 (Although you have to have a good character to be able to defame it, so I’ve got a good defence lined up 😉 )
