A Present Day Cinderella of the Internet Age

Surrounded by the land of wishes and illusions of make believe
Money considered the greatest blessing and curse
All in equal measure sometimes
Either too much or not enough; considered a great problem
Dispossessed spirits lost in a world full of material needs
Wants and desires that not too many can aspire to
Visions of sugar plum fairies dressed as lingerie models
Strutting along to Bob Dylan or Taylor Swift tunes
An endless supply of followers and supposed friends on social media
A wide display of success with designer suits, cars and children
If it can be bought and is considered trendy, people have to have it
Even if it puts them in the poor house just to look at the coveted item
Robin Leach made millions of viewers envious of impossible lives
For decades, people have been conditioned to want wealth and success
To live beyond the means they can actually afford to live by
In her early days, Madonna once sang about the pleasures of trinkets
Mostly, receiving them from undeserving tricksters
That pretended to be dressed up as good hearted men
While holding out hope that the regular guy would look her way
Living in a status obsessed society that focused on pointless facts
Number one at the box office or on top of the Billboard charts
Thumbing their noses at movies and music that scrapped at the bottom
Touching the barrel ever so gently while longing for the top spot
Always close to grabbing the brass ring, but missing it by an inch
For various reasons and circumstances
Poor quality product and usually not the right connections to make things work
Unfair that your name meant more than a person's character
News channel flinging the latest mud and innuendo by the segment
A farce too silly to believe that it's actually true
When in fact it was the real deal; despite numerous denials otherwise
We live in an age where decorum often fell by the wayside for shock value
Or sometimes ratings in television terms
Longed to partially go back to old Hollywood glamour
Just not the part where you have to hide behind a mirage
Instead of being who you truly were.
Time to break the trends of the phony reality show moguls and their minions
Carving a path where there was no cellphone reception
No selfies allowed on this trip
Just getting in touch with nature and reality once again
Exactly what the doctor ordered.
