Late Icon And The Pauper by Loquacious(m): 4:11am On Apr 08, 2016
LATE ICON AND THE PAUPER
All gather to gether
To mourn the death
Of the late Icon

Families and friends
All in full attendance
To sympathize with their beloved

None could control
Their very self
Tears in slow motion

Tears like pacific
None to pacify another
What a great lose!

The Icon has passed on
Has the Icon left us alone?
Oh what a pity!

Flash mobbers with flashy cars
All in same attires
Come see the tears of the rich

The pauper has come to mourn
With tears have
They nudged the death

Far and near
Home and abroad
Gathered as one

What a great remark
Of an Icon
That has set the pace

Unbelievable! Others exclaimed
Tears of eulogy
Mouth could not say

Riches and popularity
All bowed in the grave
What a great lose!

Wonderful adventures of memory
All shared one by one
Of the late Icon

The pauper has come
To see if it's true
An Icon can ever vanish

Thought of the pauper
What else?
Where else?

Yet in thought
Breakthrough and achievement
Hails pauper

Riches and popularity
Of the late Icon
Transfered to the pauper

Pauper sailed deep
In riches and popularity
All mistaken pauper to be

Secret reviewed at last
Why pauper became
Zero to Hero

The Icon has will
All he could
Only for the pauper

While in thought
A boom sound
Of pauper's name

All curious to know
Transformation has been installed
Riches loaded hundred percent

What a God we serve!
When it's time it's time
None can reverse
