    A gaze to flaunt my feat
    A welcome note for "That Shining Star"
    He came chest high, huffing, puffing
    Bringing the better, that's what they always are

    I have long prided myself as the best
    Kings and lords bow down before me
    Coming low, kneeling, bowing
    Extending gifts as they ready for Jubilee

    I would be a slave if I chose to love
    There was a time where I was meek
    Striving hard, improving, evolving
    Like that one lady which kings so seek

    And I admit, I am not complete
    Time will come when I will be no acolyte
    The calendars do their job, turning, falling
    As I ready myself, a star for the spotlight

    But for now, a gaze to flaunt my feat
    A goodbye note to the "Debonair"
    He went away, thinking, considering
    Wrought with guilt, that's how they always fair

    I dragged you from the heaps of debris
    left in the wake of your bitter discontent
    shards
    crippled from the shot you took
    at fame and misfortune
    where wealth flutters under
    the wings of inherited
    addiction and conviction.

    You burned to the ground while I stood tall
    on the legs of a greater beast
    casting a shadow you could never eclipse

    a shallow abyss, your frail frame
    and a future drawn from shame
    I dragged you into
    a mess of discontent and expense
    buying you the world
    before it went to the dogs.

    I thought you could see it coming.
    can I kick it?
