Superstars a dime a dozen
Talent is optional
Anyone with a camera
Rates fifteen minutes of fame
Sadly they are venerated
The dumbing down of society has begun
Roses for the bachelorette
Untalented singers spoofing the Idol
Children performing dangerous stunts on the “Tube”
Killing what’s left of true stardom
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
What defines genius
Insanity on steroids
Or simply a gift
Perhaps it is some of each
With which we’ve all been endowed
.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Who we are right now,
Will become a shadow,
A flashback to who we are.
We evolve by the second,
We can change who we are in an instant,
Becoming someone reinvented,
Exhibiting new talents,
Changing how we represent ourselves,
Born anew.
The person we had always dreamed we’d be,
All by our thoughts and efforts.
We are who we want to be because we will it,
Making demands on ourselves and our circumstances.
We force the people and things surrounding us to change,
Or we change the people and things around us.
Either way we are reborn.
The person we were yesterday is no more,
Say hello to the contemporary you.
