    A star burned so bright that the embers stay


    Trails left burnt in the mind


    Groundbreaker, be they painter or songmaker


    The ground you break becomes a crater.


    Until all that remains is the old fool,

    Whilst bigger fools look on in scorn


    It’s unoriginal they’ll call


    To the very soul of inspiration


    Who started it all.
