Life Is Not Always Great Poem by Francis Duggan

Life is not always great for those on the summit of renown
Those who create heroes and heroines can also drag their idols down
For the wealthy and famous their lives not their own
The price they do pay for becoming widely known
Billions of people everyday dream of money and fame
And it is not a disadvantage to you to have these to your name
That money speaks every language happens to be true
And if you are wealthy and famous and happy how lucky are you
Yet not many of the wealthy and famous are free of worry and care
He or she not a rare one the unhappy millionaire
Looked up to by the masses and greatly admired
But of the adulation many of them grow tired
With so many willing for to drag them down
Life is not always great for the wealthy and famous on the summit of renown.
