Timely fame
Overnight caller/ the names success/
Timely conversations/ allay the stress/
All who address must show respect/
The Past is a blur/ the present’s blessed/
The Future smells brighter than morning zest/
From seeds we grew leaves/ some disconnect/
O tree of life/ they adore me best/
Shade of no glory/ shade the rest/
Time glorified/ but now it’s left/
fame framed me famous/ as now in death/
Death to this fame and all it brings/
Timely success is a song i sing/
