Branded

If fame equates to power 
Then my power dwarfs the tower
For even those in power
Want to rid me out of cower 

Though I'm just an ordinary 
Many want a bite of me
My fame sparked a mutiny 
So the greater world could see 

The tale they made out of me 
Was just like a boomerang 
At first it struck me 
But it came back and it rang 

Now I am branded 
Though my fame was not intended
But such fame was the tower 
For the greater world to ponder
