Remember When Rehab

Remember when rehab turned a hot career to a cold shudder
When talent, not addictions, won the big magazine covers
Now it's private parties with bowls of blow in pretty colours
It's a bore reading again about another booze and pill lover.

Watching over indulgence, to say the least, is a sobering experience
Who raised these kids with no decorum and lack of commonsense
When is Stinkywood* going to take some responsibility, get off the fence
Is it a community to busy with self, to care about the future tense.

Why don't they shut it down and make everyone work in a factory or the fields
Maybe a brush up against the common folk would bring back their mass appeal
But I forget, that is what they are running from with stars in their eyes for the surreal
Using artificial boosts to go nowhere and further away from the hope of anything real.

Don't feel sorry for yourself because I don't feel sorry for you
If an outsider can see the story on the wall then why can't you
Handsome is only as useful as what you can handsomely do
Did you really think you could Indiana Jones your way out of your one way screw.

Call me sometime if you'd like to get back in touch with the cause you pay lip service to
Saving yourself is a hard hands on not a soft, rehab, sound bite point of misconstrue
Don't bring your attitude, cellphone, make-up, your latest bed warmer or your suck up crew
You'll be working so hard in my field of dreams, you will wake up with a more practical point of view.

"Don't feel sorry for yourself because I don't feel sorry for you

Some never see beyond their proboscus.
Enjoyed the read.

~ No doubt about that! lol You go girl! They need a good dose of reality! Hopefully they have their wake up calls, before they no longer are able to wake up!!!
