Celebrity News:

Why are those paparazzi not stampeding towards me
with flashing bulbs
and outstretched arms
clamoring for my autograph
showering me with glory and praises
making me the one
no other like me.
Can't they see
I am adorned in my finest
draped with the red, white, and blue
sporting my gun and
grenades to accent the camouflage suit,
covered with patriotic pride
my makeup,
parading through the street of Baghdad
death calling my name at every turn
wanting to take me home in a box
or urn.
Nestled up in the mountainside of Afghanistan
chasing a man living in a cave
wrestling with the terrain
giving freedom to people who already had their liberty.
Surfing on the Ocean floor
watching
Ahmadinejah dance with Kim Jong il
hoping they are not bold
wanting the world to see
keeping me five more years from my family.
I am trying to understand
if the American people appreciates me
where are the glory and praises lavished unto Brad Pitt
and Angelina Jolie
Can't they see
there wouldn't be a purpose for this election without me.
Do I need a sex tape for them to take pride
and see me dress in my glory
or should I spend five minutes in jail
go on Larry King and tell my story.
Maybe I should drive down the street drunk
going the wrong way with my kids
in the front seat
wave at you with glee
having no idea how lucky I am to be free.
Okay I get it
finally got it
this is how it will be
I will come home in a box
still adorned in my finest
red, white, and blue
and you will look down on my corpse
burning flesh
limbs missing taking a part of me
don't turn the camera away
look down
get the horns ready to play that tune
O SAY CAN YOU SEE
that is me
America's finest
A REAL AMERICAN CELEBRITY
doesn't it feels good to be free.
