Fame is not what it once was
It did not do what it now does
A King would rule, a Saint – anoint
To serve the people – fame’s case in point
Yes, fame is not what it once was
So widely grasped for “just because”
No noble cause, just pride and gain
To serve the selfish, indulge the vain
Those who lived by what was right
Replaced by attention’s appetite
We lost ourselves along the way
Our cultures plagued by moral decay
And while, in light, we all agree
The darkness proves: wicked, are we
Perhaps one day fame will return
To what it was: no one’s concern
Back to roots we know once were
When life was not a fast-paced blur
When people cared for what was true
For those you love, and who loves you
How the World Should Work
