Renowned I've always been ad infinitum,
No later than my birth not naming,
A streak of spot light glittered bubbles in my habitat magnum,
Jollily I poked the kaleidoscopic bubbles unending,
I tried to prod a golden star and it fell on my palm,
Torched and burned into it leaving an indelible blemish,
Crying is like how I met our world when pain couldn't calm,
I rubbed my palms together no gold no glitter all just grimmish,
I started walking with my hand on my back,
'Cause that's how I saw people covered their scars,
I met an oldman, he stared, noded and said, "What a luck"
Then three lads hurled sand at me blurted,  "Look, we're not hiding our stars"
They had suspended a whole city atop the sea with just concrete and ferrum,
Two lasses with strings and pins said, "grab a pen and pad and you'll see"
Later that night in my sleep I went back to when my food was like serum,
I saw all those glitters were throngs upon throngs cheering, all at me.
