Lies and sex, glitter and glamour,
Stripping for a living now and forevermore.
Virginity and pregnancies,
Snorting cocaine and LSD.
And who do we consistently blame?
Meet Hollywood.
Mini skirts and too much lip gloss,
Nail polish and too many piercing.
It’s all a game of he said, she said,
And again who do we consistently blame?
Meet Hollywood.
Open your eyes and see what your kids see.
Watch the shows and read the magazines.
Maybe then you’ll realize why your children do what they do.
It may be the friends they have or the phases they’re in…
But in the end it’s always the same story…
Meet Hollywood!

Oh so true. I teach special education and I see this teens especially thew girls into this person and that person. In our classroom, this one girl likes Hanna Montana and so I watched a couple of episodes and i was just thinking how long will it take until she starts dressing like all the other celebrity teen girls and getting into drugs. Why can't these teen celebrities use their popularity for something positive and actually be good role models.

This does sound like hollywood. A good use made of the word bank. Your poem is well written and very interesting to read. Good luck in the contest.

Very good poem! I liked how you used the phrase Meet Hollywood after each stanza. The message is so true, that parents need to open their eyes and see what their kids see!
