Analysis of Famous for No Apparent Reason

Perhaps the Kardashian phenomenon
Is highly contagious
Personally speaking, I find it profoundly outrageous
But having arrived at such a stature I must defer
To the throngs of Arlingtonians who seem to all prefer
Following our walks, our talks our gustatory choices
In all these events the group rejoices!
But is this the same as reality show gone awry
Or is something more subtle-well I shall humbly reply!
When motivation is caring and sharing ensues
Then kindness grows that defeats our blues
When stopping to smell the sweet rose of the day
Is shared with gusto and put on display
Perhaps for some it calms a personal pain
Or maybe from stress-a temporary refrain
All I know is joy freely shared is a treasure indeed
The heart and soul it can generously feed
Famous, not at all, but befriended we hope
So walk we will and share we must
For kindness will save us, in that we trust
