Eating Poetry - Chloe Gilholy
Welcome To Celebrity Culture
Welcome to celebrity culture,
Where gold vultures lurk at every corner.
To keep up, act like a virgin,
Until you're sliced by a surgeon.
––––––––
Live on a diet of kale and cocaine,
To numb the pain and keep you sane.
Bubblegum boulevards with red carpets and the arts
A glittering world where fame never departs.
––––––––
There's no limit to what you can earn,
No limit to what you can spend and burn.
A contract for this, a gig for that,
Just sign your name, and wear your hat.
––––––––
But beware, they'll take 10% of your soul,
And other companies want 110% to roll.
It's the best deal in Hollywood, they say,
But don't forget to read the fine print all the way.
––––––––
Jump under the covers, they promise no strings attached,
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it's not a catch.
But wait, you know what? Forget it all!
I'll stick to what I do best, heed my call.
––––––––
I'll keep my dignity, my sanity,
And reject a life of mediocrity and vanity.
For all that glitters is not gold,
And I'll choose the real over the sold.
––––––––
In a world where values are lost and bent,
I'll stay true to myself, with no need to repent.
So no thanks! To avoid the pitfalls and wild gimmicks,
I'll stick to my tea and biscuits!
Home is Home
I am of no fixed address; I am a guest on this planet.
Being rich and famous would be my own worst nightmare,
And so would a lifetime of CEO slavery and tax.
––––––––
The world is not run with best interests in mind.
And so I take comfort in the little things in life;
The coffee art and online scribbles with our favourite
––––––––
People and do the things that gives us joy
Hobbies connect us and our achievements are mighty.
Where all the moments are is where I plant my home.
I have given everything I have to get to this place.
This Is My England
My little space of tranquillity has shaken
Beneath the earthquakes by corruption.
We are black and white, and everything in between.
This is my home. This is my England.
––––––––
Saturday nights are always epic
Weather your out in the clubs
Or curled up to a take-away and the TV
This is my home. This is my England.
––––––––
Friendships form and friendships break.
Some shatter and some fade away.
United and separated by radical loonies.
This is my home. This is my England.
––––––––
We come together for the good and the bad.
We bake cakes and make tea to add a smile
On our neighbours' faces.
This is my home. This is my England.
––––––––
We have many cultures condensed into one place.
We build communities and become one family.
We shine together and celebrate
