1)
Celebrity slaves
to the almighty dollar
lose what they gambled.
2)
They hypnotized us
as larger than life icons
but they’re just puppets
3)
to the unseen hands
that control society
1% elites.
4)
Scapegoat sacrifice
their narcissism killed them
cloaked in suicide.
5)
Casting couch sell outs
they prostituted themselves
all for stupid fame.
6)
Are they clones or bots?
Why do they look so alike?
Do they even know?
7)
Was that what he meant
when he asked, *”Do androids dream
of electric sheep?”?
Philip Kindred Dick’s book inspired the masterpiece film, “Blade Runner”
That’s very true.
Celebrity slaves do look alike for some reason.
Maybe because they have no souls since they sold them.

It is certainly not as glamorous a life as some are led to believe.

Once again… You nail it! Without mincing words… You just said it. It’s the story across globe… 1% is what control them all. And we fools see their life to be so glamorous… Ignorant to the core. Sad!

Thank you for your support! 🌸🙂 I think maybe they got entrapped or blackmailed along the ladder to fame, but they still signed up for and benefit from it at least materially. I used to admire them, thought they were so talented but I no longer see them that way. I’m glad to have a regular, uncelebrated life 🙂, no one can take wealth/possessions with them when they die; better to have a good, humble life. 🙏
