you are a lesson

to be well-known was your goal
Popularity means the world to you
You chase things
Like a lion to its prey

Desires are a stream
Burning, flowing endlessly
Satisfaction never exist

Greed was your motivaton
You worked hard
Toiled with all your strength
Never slowed down
You made night a day

Second priority are your family
Your ear deaf on their cries
Wrapped in your world
For you,just a background noise
Little did you know
They are drifting away.

You reached your star
Were you happy?
It's the opposite
You felt empty..

Evening came
Gone was your fame
As your family
You were filled with emptiness
Remorse eats you up
You wish the impossible
Turning back time
is never an option.

You shouldn't be sad..
You served your purpose
You are a lesson.
