Famous father syndrome

Famous Father Syndrome

Jose’s father is famous politician, his mother too
is well known, she used to be a red-cross president,
sits in many comities and says weighty things.

Jose stands in their shadow and smokes a cigarette,
he’s haunted by a fact that he’s a failure and will
always be one as long as they are alive

If they stay too long it will be too late for him to
shine, the fickle audience would have gone home
leaving him on a dark stage smoking a cigarette
