Die hard fans of film stars, politicians, cult figures
over a period, get brainwashed
fawn over every word of their 'Hero'
believe their 'deity' could do no wrong!
Everything they do, even the wrong
very wrong things like drunken driving
or "Drunk with power" actions
obvious to everyone else as 'Faulty'
are all lapped up, justified by the 'crazy' 'loony' fans
Are the ones with cult status
commanding sheepish, 'sheep like' following
really blessed, fortunate, very lucky in life?
well history tells us otherwise!
The cult like figures, exceeding brief
history reminds us
came to very sorry, tragic ends!
all that glitters is not gold!

ReplyDeleteWe need "eyes" to see what's right & not be blind!
But, some are "blind even with eyes"!
