    Excellent poem. Sad that people forget about celebrities being human.

      Thank you Charles, you are right we do forget that they can have the same, if not more problems than those of us who are not in the limelight.

        Definitely more. We see the luxury, but not the stress.

      So very true, it just proves that money does not buy happiness.

    This was a terrible shock yesterday. And, call me silly, but most of the articles left out my fave movie of his–“Flawless”. I’m so sad for his children–rough legacy, to lose him this way.

      It certainly is, his children must be devastated how sad.

        Bad enough to lose their dad, but then all the media hype about final scene details–the price of fame is simply too costly.

        It certainly appears that it can be…far too much temptation I suppose.
