True artists covet the brightest spotlight

But some ignite only for the elite

Reserving the harshest glow for defeat

And Sun's embrace for victorious night

A trial made to test mettle in plight

Talent and might not enough to compete

For this feat there simply is no retreat

There is only the clash, only the fight

These are not games cherubic children play

This is realm of fortified bastion

The frail of heart need not enter this fray

Ignore not these words, they are not cliché

There can be only one true Champion

The greatest of contests is underway
