In my honour, they have erected monuments of solid gold for all to see; the young, the lively, the dying, the old. I've lived for the glory, I've lived for the fame; Day-to-day life has never been the same: they cheer my name when I walk down the street, they rush to my aid should my heart merely skip a beat- but my time here on Earth is at an end and yet still I'm revered as ''God's best friend''. I have received enough attention, now it's time I stepped down; passing on the legacy, the scepter, the crown- but, before I do, I must implore you: mourn my death and mark your loss with nothing more than a small white cross.

A Small White Cross.
