MEDIOCRE: adequate, but not very good
Everyone's an artist and everybody writes,
Believing that they'll reach the dizzying heights.
But with talentless people continually making it to the top,
It causes the gifted to pack up and stop.
This benefits the individuals but certainly not the masses,
As society now worships the low celebrity classes,
Who aren't particularly special but happen to look the part,
Without producing anything that is memorable or smart...
We should be praising ability more than we do looks,
I now watch less television and pick up more books.
