For Shubhdeep Sidhu

 Five brooks merge into one to mold this expanse 

Oh How!! fortunate was the soil to have given birth to such a man. 

Years of yearning and penance were a blessing h was their only child 

He was their universe, the apple of their eye

Obedient and rooted he was in every sense 

Hellucid and sincere to par excellence 

A flame had been flickering inside him 

A desire had been quivering inside him 

He began to ink out his scribbles carving out his destiny 

Soon fame and success were next to him 

He was spitting bullets of rhyme 

Never a miss, he'd strike the bull's eye 

But they weighed him down  until he was on his knees

A wounded lion brought down to 0 degrees 

Ignorant of stature and life so grand 

roaring on yet he was a simple man 

He still beats among the million and a handful still hate on him

Yet the title "legend" fits great on him
