They have with them body guards at all times and are driven in chaffeur driven cars <br />And their lives seen to many as important these big Hollywood movie stars <br />Stories and photos of them in glossy magazines of their lives and their every love affair <br />To many the heroes and heroines the impressionable are never rare. <br /> <br />So conceited and arrogant 'twould seem their fame it has gone to their head <br />They live so detached from the real World and so much of them written and said <br />Whilst millions are homeless and hungry and living in dire poverty <br />Their only fight is for survival the unfairness of inequality. <br /> <br />Detached from the real World it would seem yet many interested in their lives <br />The female stars cheat on their husbands the male stars they cheat on their wives <br />They do not take marriage too seriously they enjoy their bit on the side <br />The extra marital affairs seem part of their marriage contract and in their sexual conquests they take pride. <br /> <br />Yet one must wonder about those who look up to them do they have any lives of their own <br />How can anybody look up to somebody that to them in most ways are unknown <br />And millions are homeless and hungry doesn't life seem so very unfair <br />And the have nots must fight for survival in the bigger World out there?<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-privileged/
