So, I’m throwing out my gaudiness for ever to see
My ‘self’ which is in the inmost recesses of my heart.
I’ll invoke that maximalist gold digger waiting in me,
Who won’t hesitate to ride roughshod over new upstart.
At last she’ll win in the new innings and look above,
To see the salvation of all is through love and in love.
