Champion

Let me tell you a story
Of not so distant memory
I was a merchant
I ruled an empire
Let me tell you a story
Of not so distant memory
I was a champion
I ruled a game
Let me tell you a story
Of not so distant memory
When legal tender was rubber bands
I was wealthy
My wealth adorned like ornaments on my wrist
Clad in the expensive creation of Ananse's mystery
My name will go down in history
I'm a legend
A ruler
Undefeated
The rippling effect of my confidence
Rubbing off on my subjects
Mistaken as pride
Misconstrued for weakness
Asking for another chance - a rematch
To take back what was theirs
Let me tell you a story
Of not so distant future
Seated here in pensive mood
Racing through my mind
Thoughts of gaining more wealth,
To play or not to play?
