Fame and Fortune by Elvis Presley:

Fame and fortune

How empty they can be

But when I hold you in my arms

That's heaven to me

Who cares for fame and fortune?

They're only passing things

But the touch of your lips on mine

Makes me feel like a king

Your kind of love

Is a treasure I hold

It's so much greater

Than silver or gold

I know that I have nothing

If you should go away

But to know that you love me

Brings fame and fortune my way

But to know that you love me

Brings fame and fortune my way

The theme of fame and fortune directly means an individual or an organisation that is successful and popular. Fame, specifically, could mean that something is popular and admired. Fortune means that someone is luckily or financially at an advantage. So this theme could be interpreted to be about someone who is rich and famous.

Connotations of the future are:

1. Robots

2. Teleportation

3. Hunger Games

4. Holograms

5. Back to the Future

6. Technology

7. Age

8. Time

9. Social media

Back To The Future - Poem by Sulaiman Mohd Yusof

Autoplay next video

The year is 2285

Everyone is getting high

It’s all about high profile

To live is to die

No more prison and trial

A free world to compile

All your sins will fly

The judgment is yours to consider

Money for nothing to ponder

Distance yourself further

No retreat and no surrender

The going will get wilder

The tough will get weaker

The ozone layer became thinner

The icebergs had landed

Low lying lands became embedded

Like thrusting a knife that is jagged

Seems like most parts are flooded

Highlands are barricaded

Population intakes are limited

To survive is to be restricted

Who’s the poor and who’s the richest?

It’s a taboo to say and yet superstitious

To be in power would be the strongest

Sharing your power could be the longest

To live that long is tremendous

And the poor would become notorious

To be left out as the monotonous

Global warming has taken its toll

It’s not like walking in the park to stroll

The heat could penetrate even your soul

No more south and north pole

Your best next home is in the hole

1. Expectations

2. Youths

3. Social media
