tubridyseanI wrote a poem. If I had more time, it would flow better and would be more mature. But I think it does the trick. Let me know what you think!
Philanthropist or Narcissist
A celebrity appears on a PSA,
Is it an earnest appeal or just a way to say
That they care about the world issues?
A fake smile and a box of tissues
Draw attention to the starving poor
But is this a good thing? I’m still unsure.
Bono, Oprah, Pitt, and Jolie
Give their heart, soul, and money
To help out the less fortunate
And work to make a world aid conglomerate.
In a society focused on reputation,
It’s hard to tell who shows true dedication.
Celebrities strive to associate their faces
With orgs and charities in all the right places.
That will make them look the best in the public’s eye.
Their actions are deceiving and sly.
A celebrity is not an expert on world news,
Just a rich person with biased views.
Don’t believe everything you hear
From a pretty face and a voice so clear.
Personally I find this involvement to be superficial
These people act like a world health official.
They are told what to say to the media,
So do your own research on Wikipedia.
Of course, these countries benefit from the philanthropists,
But it’s sad to see these celebrity self-serving narcissists.

I like this poem. It’s something that not a lot of bloggers do.
I’ll give it to ya man. You’re a better poet than I am!
Sorry, but are you dissing Oprah? Are you saying she’s just another celebrity trying to look good to other people?
I don’t think he’s dissing Oprah, JJ. I think he’s saying that some celebrities are all about the spotlight and some actually help out. Although, it’s not so clear, I think you can deduce that from the general idea of the poem.
I’m not so sure you should be using Wikipedia as a credible site to do research. I get the point though. Cool poem.
Bahaha! Whoever wrote this poem is hilarious! The fact that it was a guy (i’m assuming unless Sean is a girl, then I’m sorry) makes it even more impressive! I personally think that there are tons of self-serving celebrities out there. I will admit, there are some really generous celebrities that genuinely want to help, but for the most part I think celebrities are superficial and narcissistic.
This kid does NOT like celebrities.
I’m obsessed with this!! I am a poet and I love when other people incorporate poetry in unconventional ways, and especially to bring light to all the self righteous, egotistical, so called ‘celebrities.’ You should write more bro!
