Stars shining down

From dawn to dusk they wait in bitter,
Only in the dark, can the world admire their glitter

From the members of the vast unknown,
They becomes ascendants to the suns throne

The darkness aplenty, needs them to light up the gloom
They, the torchbearers burn their souls to live up the doom

The flickering lights to the media bytes,
They rehearse it all, from the top to the fall

They are the stars shining down
In the tuxedos and the evening gowns

Funny, how you compare the real to the reel
And emote surprise when there is difference to feel

Why was it they were held so high
If they couldn't even live up a lie

Among those star struck, i listened with attention rapt
And i wondered if the ladder up was reserved for the just

Entertain us, many a time, they do it right
How then do they reach a position of might

Like a pet trained to jump through the fired loop
Seems when he does it right, you are bound to stoop

I for one am among the fooled lot,
And then again there is still much to be sought...
