Sonic 55

I was telling a friend of mine about Sonnet 55, which is a love poem by William Shakespeare. My friend misheard me saying "Sonnet" as "Sonic". Being a writer and a gamer, I was inspired to write a parody. So here it is.
1. Not Tails, nor the emeralds,
2. Of princes, shall outlive this powerful kick;
3. But Super Sonic shall shine more bright in these worlds
5. When wasteful war shall statues overturn,
6. And broils root out the work of heroics,
7. Nor Knuckles his spikes, nor Eggy's robots shall burn,
8. The legacy of Sonic.
9. Gainst death, and all oblivious enmity,
10. Shall Sonic pace forth, Tails' praise shall still find room
11. Even in the eyes posterity
12. That saves this world from the impending doom.
13. So, till the judgement that he'll arrive,
14. You live in this, and dwell in fangirls' eyes.
