Cloak of mystery, class of mastery
Ironic as is, he was king of anarchy

The story started as stories start
With farms, fellows, people and all
Then came a comrade with chaos and calm
And then came a brat.

A nation rose, father foresworn
Damned a despot, denounced its dusk
Viva La Vida, Viva La Resistance
The rule for all, turns a rule that enthralled.

Came back the man they called their saviour
To rid the foe he once thought friend
When the new lives the old, as they say
Revenge is a dish that’s better served cold.

And then the man bid his byes
He took yaramman and yield; yet his yesterdays not
Then lived a life, that of solace and solitude
Till the triads paid him a fight
Weepers weeped and reapers reaped
Against the blade, will one ever suffice?
Knife at throat of a friend so dear; he succumbed
Yet he had lives left to live for again he triumphed.

Thus the hero lived and lived
Lived and lived till he lived not any more
Cancer may have killed Technoblade
But he killed the cancer too
It was never a loss; just a draw
Just as once he told a friend,
“If you want to be a hero Tommy, then die like one”

*A tribute poem to beloved and legendary
entertainer Technoblade who passed in 2022 of cancer.
