NEVERLAND

"Money, love, fashion, fame, and all that's in between." ~U-Kiss

NEVERLAND

Neverland, we’ve got it all

We’ve got all we can take

Our circuits over-loaded to the brink

Life whirls by at our pace

 

Grasp the hand to Neverland

If you want to see our world

If you’re the center of attention

If you love to see heads swirl

 

Cameras capture pretty smiles

Fans scream out our names

We walk red carpets endlessly

The delirious never wake

 

Grasp the hand to Neverland

If you think you’ve got the time

If you’d trade friends and family

Like I’ve traded all of mine

 

Money dulls any pain,

Gucci remedies the hate,

A martini still tastes delicious

With someone screaming in your face

 

Grasp the hand to Neverland

For a world you’ve never seen

Spotlights, stages, interviews,

We rule as kings and queens

 

“Money, love, fashion, fame,

And all that’s in between~”

Are you in or are you out?

Step up or get back down.

 

Author's Note

The part in quotes is a quote from U-Kiss's song "Neverland" (Go watch the dance version in this link!!!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW8UW4yAKEU
Anyways, the poem is based off that quote. Tell me your thoughts and I will review you back. Pinkie promise. Luv ya!

The move from carefree to cynical back to carefree was so well executed. The tone with the light sarcasm is such an amplifying feature.

Wow, this piece is amazing ! The flow within it is inspirating and beautiful at the same time which is hard to do! Keep it up :)

[Lydia Shutter]

Fantastic rhythm and rhyme...really flawless. We do have a bit of a caste system in the U.S. although we hate to admit it. With the electronic universe in full swing, celebrities do seem to get the best of everything and anything they want. It's not really what happens behind the facade though. Excellent work here.

Hah! A poem of elitism at its finest. Love the bit about how a martini still tastes good with someone screaming in your face; although I think I would rather some rum! This has an excellent flow, and is probably your best written poem, technically speaking. Keep up the good work.

[Shane Hogan Poetry]

This is something you don't see often! Impeccable flow with a conceptual scheme, which anyone can flow with! It's truth is striking but perfectly nailed down! Perfect!

[ZeniaK]

thank you so much for your kind review :)

thank you paras!

[BClancy]

This was a very flowing and creative poem, showing (what I think is) the life of 'showbiz'. It was very fun to read and very richly worded. Great job!

[Praveeta]

People choose material possessions over families and friends. Thanks for highlighting this beautifully in your poem.

[ZeniaK]

thank you praveeta!

[Praveeta]

You are most welcome.

I know this theme. I've known it myself and I've seen friends live it. It's sad and not worth it. Well penned

[ZeniaK]

thank you for the review, Revery. :)
