The Beauty of Television

What's up with the controversy
Entertainment and celebrities
Unacceptable conduct from athletes
Distasteful rapper's discrepancies
Let's start with Joe Wilson
What world is he living in
Shouting "Lie" to the president
Is that how Republicans represent?
Moving on to the next
Kanye West and his mess
Disrespectful on the stage
Is that how he was raised?
Let's put the other one on blast
Serena Williams showing her ass
On the court acting out
Is that what tennis is about?
And what about Michael Vick
Did you think I would forget?
Did he have to kill those dogs?
He paid the price for breaking laws
And how about the president
Off the records but talking shit
Calling Kanye out his name
Is that a way of reflecting change?
Whitney Houston welcome back
It's nice to see you're back on track
Bobby Brown you tried to blame
Is that the a way to clear your name?
Chris Brown... don't get me started
Your image is rightfully tarnished
You struck a woman with bare hands
But let me see you strike a man
To criticize is in our nature
We don't approve of the behavior
But I will say in their defense
They may be famous but still humans
They make mistakes like you and I
But their mishaps are televised
We have no right to condemn
It's not our jobs to punish them
Yes, Joe Wilson may be a racist
Let's not pretend it doesn't exist
Kanye West, he crossed the line
It's clear his issues are undefined
Serena Williams that's not the way
Don't place emotions on display
Michael Vick, he did the crime
Two years in prison, he did his time
Mr. Obama, that's your belief
We're all entitled to freedom of speech
Whitney Houston, we still love you
He's not responsible for what you choose
To beat your woman, it makes no sense
Chris Brown, there's no defense
In the end we're all the same
Most are ordinary, others have fame
But with the fame there comes a price
None of us are Jesus Christ
We all condemn without the prize
But who are we to criticize
Why are we so hard on others
Let's learn to forgive one another
Controversy and foolish decisions
That's the beauty of television
