FAME

Faustian sonnet

So undeserved as reward in life.

Lauded as one who cures all that’s amiss

Indeed such icons must live without strife.

Their troubles minor, an existence of bliss!

 

So all yee strive for high notoriety

Question not how it is packaged

Of single purpose be driven mightily

A credo based on life fantastic

 

All the fulfillment will be your afford

The glory of this focus of course implied

Ah but the other edge of the sword

Noticed but not in esteem held high

 

Fame sans peace is hardly a world of gladness

Clutching the humble past that has now vanished

[E. Maggard]

I am impressed with the sonnet structure. You have a skill I can't conform to. Very well done, especially as the subject matter stayed consistent with the tempo.
"So all yee strive for high notoriety

Question not how it is packaged

This is a very powerful stanza- the message is here- this is where your reader gets personally involved as this is where they begin to question.
Once again, good job.
