Ode To Fame

[Embach]

Its never too late to be- the things that you might have been* ill sing you till u fall asleep- u try and remember when* the future looked lush and sweet and I was ur only friend. But dark does the future fade- when only one star ascends.

 

A bird and a fish may love

But where will they build their nest.

For I only live for gold

The fame hook of happiness

And u are above it all

Silent with Reverence

For free is the man who knows that glitter is deadliness

This poem - "Ode To Fame" - was posted by LDR on Facebook on April 3rd, 2011. Today, this post is removed. The last time I saw that post there, was in late 2020. In this post, I put that poem here in the original form, as it was written there. I found a screenshot of that poem from the Internet - put in the spoilers.

Nobody talking about the Summer Bummer lyrics in this poem? You can even sing it along to the melody:

 

It's never too late

to be the things you might have been

I'll sing to you fall asleep

You,

try and remember when

The future looked lush and sweet

-----

It's never too late

to be who you wanna be
To say what you wanna say
And

it's never too late to leave if you wanna leave
Or to stay if you wanna stay

Yes! When I first found it, I started singing this song in my head as well! Loved the reference.
