Witness

To whom, to what are we witness to?

A man who knows not what next he should do?

What should he do, should he leave or should he stay?

Where is he destined to, where next should he play?

To the crowds everywhere he entered the public awareness

When he was prophesized by a Swoosh to be heir to His Airness.

All his efforts for victory came to a crashing halt

And unlike blameless years past this time it’s all his fault.

Precious gold remains missing from his long epic story

Gold which could give him long awaited eternal glory.

And now his city for over four decades in a row

Will be without a championship, much to their woe.

There was high hope, replete, for their Chosen One

But now, The Forest City’s hope may be forever done.

Yet they still hail their ill fated savior as their King

Even though he stands crownless and without a ring.

Perhaps someday he’ll be enshrined with along the greatest names

But for now we are witness to a dethroned King James.
