The Millstone

of 'being a success'  
is there for any and all 
who seek to grind others down with it,
as wealth and fame makes them
perpetuate false selves so successful
the genuine self is nowhere to be found.

Nowhere is this truer
than in modern popular song,
where if the artist is young, female,
and is the image of 'marketable',
such that they are modern barbie dolls
with musical talent added via technology,
performing songs to be heard in supermarkets
where the sound can be ignored by discerning shoppers.
