Be not sorry due to no fame,
As it is a badly burning flame,
If you are caught in that fire,
Hope and peace, it will tire.
Getting fame becomes an #addiction,
To confuse absolutely brain-section,
Craving for fame will be damn severe,
Your life-vehicle, you will badly steer.
Greed will become an obsession,
It will destroy your forevision,
Many wrong acts, you will commit,
To reach fame's ultimate summit.
Self-dignity, you may sacrifice,
As love for fame will entice,
You will become fame's puppet,
You will cry if you don't get.
You will lose your peace of mind,
When more fame you can't find,
You will madly start to chase,
Via acts that bring utter disgrace.
If you don't give proper check,
By deep agony, you will be struck,
World will become a veritable hell,
You will turn then desperately dull.
If you smartly end your desire,
And switch off the addiction-fire,
World will become a paradise,
Happiness will give a surprise.
