All Glory is Fleeting

Having been a Superstar

Far out of reach from my competitors

While was fighting my war

Saw off all the opponents with fervour

I was the talk of the town

A sensational Victor, a Legend

Whoever fought me, went down

With insurmountable losses that wouldn’t mend

Game after game – I won

Cruising along, I feared none

Like a tall mountain that stood with pride

Glory was on my stride

Like the never-ending waves, I marched

Watching me unstoppable, my rivals parched

Precision and Perfection

Took me to new levels of elation

Millions of fans celebrated my victory

As I was creating history

Like the beaming sunlight that descends upon the earth

With some brilliant plays, I took away my fan’s breath

After few everlasting success

The winds seemed to recess

Age and injury took a toll

When the new players had a roll

Every game I lost gave me pain

And failures started to rain

The end of an era – some called

My ideas and execution flawed

All good things would come to an end

When I was no more able to bend

Young Sport stars became newsmakers

And they were game shakers

I had to give up someday

I have no future in the offing

Success is no more my way

And all glory is fleeting
