African American Poetry - Photos courtesy of author - "Three Buddies" illustration by Alan Haley Do You Know Me? When did it begin, This fame fixation Where all we want Is to be wanted By those we know And don't know - the same. When did we switch From mind your business To mining our personal business For notoriety and riches Without any hint of shame? When did being a Kardasian Become our 15 minute aim? "Do You Know Me?" is a thought-provoking poem that reflects on the modern obsession with fame and notoriety. It questions when and how society transitioned from valuing privacy and minding one's own business to actively seeking attention and recognition, often through the sharing of personal information and experiences.
