a mere poet i was, a brother destined to be in the shadow

kept in darkness from education and awareness, lest the light of knowledge gives me the power to rebel

in secret chambers i read, guided by fallen comets

eyeing your queen from the window of the tower

you had me a dumb pawn, a doll that danced to your whistles

but too cocky were you to not watch my steps,

orchestrated by your wife wedded, the laila of all hearts

first i snatched your kingdom, then your woman

now i shall snatch your dusty ego with laila on my lap.

the banner refuses to come. ig laila doesn't like it
