How does one play
The Fame Game?
Do they play fair
Almost square
Or rough and new
Changing you
Making you a new
Creative being
Of both mind and soul
Losing everything that
Was once dear
To their white new lord
And his following minions
That create legions
In no time at all.
How does one play
The Fame Game
Without risking it all?

A magazine that I sumbitted a story to(The story was rejected) was opening submissions about works about pollution and fame. The word fame rhymed with game and it just came from there.
