Some search their lifetime,
For wealth, riches
And fame.
The exhilaration
Of riches, fame,
Compliments
And flatters,
All for possessions and a pay check.
They live their lives,
Trying to gain worth,
Through their name
And pocket-book,
And status.
Then when finally, their dream is fulfilled,
They have all the money they wished,
And compliments and flatters
Behind a hidden mask.
One day,
When the riches and fame
Evade them,
They lose themselves, in the process.
