Airborne amongst the clouds.
Looking down on lands expanse.
Dreamlike swirls in foggy haze.
Mountain peaks rise fearlessly from surface...
Not intimidated by their height...
frigid spikes in awe of your weightless station...

A vast multitude adorn in dregs purloining, 
Fashionable filth clocked with piety,

Having lived on earth for some time now
Impatiently he dwells, harboring self doubt.
In face of impediments he loses his mind

Eight former champions.
Eight uncrowned atheles
Four officials.
Two championships
One purpose.

When the guy losses the title
A group of wrestlers used the
Alumni clause in there contract
To reinstate a former championship
They were to present it as there

to be successful
they sited his past

OLD FOLKS

Gone those elder-respecting days -
An ancient could well topple over
As uncouth youth speeds around him

The Walmart express departs

Allay all your fears, put them at ease.

Legends of showmanship destined to last.

The ways of talk, 
The ways of walk,
The game and showmanship,
Work and play,
Night and day,
My culture.
