THE RACE TO FAME

I came I saw I was conquered
Life got in the way
Art took a back seat
As hopes and dreams faded away
Only the strongest survive
As the economy takes its toll
And the dreamer forgets to dream
As worry consumes his soul
Its survival of the fittest
And it is a young mans game
And time is the enemy
In this race to fame
