Why are the famous noticed above the rest
Can the simple possibly be lesser
Or are the lesser the famous
Many famous die
To have new fame rise
But the lesser leave their ranks the same
Unless the one lesser becomes the famous
Why must one man be made better
So that the man next to him can be called lower
Is all this true
Could the false statement be accepted
Is it the simple that make the famous exist
So that the famous can choose who should be exiled
Who has more power the one who stand above the rest
Or the ones who accept their position
One man above the rest who made him that man
Millions who step away from the one
While the one steps away from the millions
Do the famous really deserve their title
Or does that title belong to the people who made the famous
What fame is their
Why do we call them famous
Giving a man fame is only going to put the man in a higher rank
A rank that will give him the thought that he is better than everyone else
When it is everyone else who made him famous
The famous and the simple in a constant battle
The simple making the famous
The famous thinking that they brought themselves their

Aaron, I am loving reading your poems! I am struck by how profound and deep your thoughts are, and how articulately you express them. You have an admirable understanding of humanity, and your vulnerability is an inspiration to me! "The Famous and The Simple" represents a struggle that I have been through as well. I love you!
