In The Age Of The Celebrity

In the twenty twenties of the twenty first century

We are in the age of the celebrity

In sports, politics and entertainment we read of and hear of every day

Of those known to be successful in quite a big way

Money and admiration in the celebrities cause egos to swell

Too much praise can go to the head of the praised one as we all know too well

Since so many of singing their praises never seem to grow tired

It must be hard to remain humble for the greatly admired

It is hard to remain humble for the one with a famous name

Since the ego does find it hard to cope with fame

When praise goes to the head it is not good for the soul

And the ego when swollen on the gentler human feelings take toll

We are in the age of the celebrity in the twenty first century

But too much praise is not good for the ego is how it seems to be.
