Forever Down To Earth

An honorary candle was held high

Illuminating a figurative sky

After sharing the spotlight

With a legendary living spectacle

Remained eventful

Within the lives

Of all admirers from every walk of life

Who remembered why

Being larger than life

Is only a camouflage

For what's already apart of

Their idols glowing persona

It's a tributary & humbling stage

To be apart of

As humility graces the face

Of a favorable likeness

Appealing to the mainstream

Yet this perception

Genuinely condescends

What's truly beneath the surface

Of all influential upstanding figures

Who've been personified

With a benefactor

Self-worth quality

Encompassing to be

Forever Down To Earth

As every handshake from them

Is meant to befriend humanity as a whole
