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/
