In todays world we worship people that are for the most part pretty terrible human beings. |
-Let Icons Be Bygones- by Keaton Foster Pretty Shitty People Crown jewels Upon the crown of humanity Unrealistic reality Everything about them False, fake Misquoted, misrepresented True icons of self-indulgence At least for a time Which boggles the mind We wanna be like them We cut our hair Shed much needed pounds Spend money we don’t have Do whatever we can To escape our own reality Somehow feeling as if we could Even for a second be a part of theirs Fanatic fans with insidious plans People screaming look at me As we become more like them Ridiculous in every sense of the word Of course such actions do not last Such idolization is quickly replaced The only thing that we love more Than their meteoric rise Is their downward trajectory They are always gonna fail And when it happens All who follow All who truly adore Will go from being kittens To being ravenous wolves We will rip them to pieces Whatever false credibility they had Will be replaced with an eager sense To destroy them beyond destruction Let icons be bygones Is what we will say As another steps up to take their place We all want someone to worship At least for a time At least until we get bored Then the ones we worship will become The ones that we wish the worst of it Hypocrites and then some We have it printed of t-shirts Tattooed on the small of our backs An ink stained band around our biceps Whichever way, the point is made We are so unhappy with ourselves That for a time we find another A person as fake as they come We know it, and in a weirder way That is what we adore about them most At least of course until another takes their place Then such adoration is replaced With never ending righteous discontent Pretty Shitty People Hypocrites Let icons be bygones Is what we will say As another steps up to take their place Such a cycle of love and hate Cannot be allowed to go to waste… Let Icons Be Bygones Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2013 |
