Fame
Three Haikus
By AJ O’Brien.
She found Hollywood
Hollywood never found her.
Still waiting tables.
And came her big break.
Goodbye to her loyal friends
she’s a superstar.
Money beyond dreams.
Drugs. She worships opium.
Overdosed. Farewell.
this could apply to so many Hollywood stars, both female and male, very sad!

In just a few well-chosen words, you wrote the history of so many people who followed their dreams to Hollywood. Honestly, after a while you would think that people would realize fame isn’t worth it…. Good job, Alan!

How fleeting fame is and far too often how dangerous. A truth well divulged.

And in a nutshell
The dreams we are sold to chase
Prove empty, worthless.
