Unoriginal

Mock tudor with fake mouldings to match
and heavy imitation antiques
-your best attempt at authenticity-
but it’s a replica life that you lead.
Your parroted opinions almost seem genuine,
yet something doesn't quite ring true.
How many times have you practised them?
And is any of it really coming from you?
You're like a small-time tribute band,
never quite pulling off the act.
You’ve got the look and you've got the songs,
but you're unexciting and that’s a fact.
You're so damn unoriginal
you put Brian’s followers to shame,
your show is about as convincing
as a big-boned pantomime dame.
You're transparent and we see through you:
an unchallenging red top read.
Why continue to feign authenticity?
We know it’s a replica life that you lead.

I get the feeling that it is
I get the feeling that it is about a particular television show. I applaud your poem as it gives a good account of what a lot of people think but do not say.
Keep writing about your observations.
