L.A. Lament*
(c)2000 Wynn Free
L.A. L.A.
Hard to find a
Heart of gold.
Everyone needs to use you
To get one step closer
To their star.
So many roads
Leading to nowhere.
Glitter on the path,
But the pot of gold
Is so elusive.
So few break through
The star-making machine.
My advice
If you have to stay,
For what it's worth
A new L.A. cliche:
Don't reach for the stars.
Reach for the hearts.
Don't fall for someone else's scheme
Unless it's part of your dream.
