Seldom you see a cancer so strong
That it takes the entire country by storm.
The brave face perfected for photo ops,
Impending death cover shoots.
But what happens when the shutters close shut?
Trust funds set up through OK and Hello
The grip of publicity gives the sallow,
Sick skin a made up glow.
Final thoughts all condensed into a blog,
Sympathy from all the detractors
Lost in the newspeak fog,
Too scared to say ‘Media Hog’
