HOW SHALL I BE REMEMBERED?

HOW SHALL I BE REMEMBERED?



One day I will quit this world,
Never to come again.
Behind me, for a small time,
Memories will remain.

How shall I be remembered
After I am no more?
(If I’m remembered at all,
Of which I am not sure).

They will say: “A good riddance.
He was such a big bore.
He hardly had emotions,
Only his logic pure.

True, that poems did he write,
With a sense of feelings.
But, for him, it was just a
Chronicle of failings.

What he lacked inside, he made
Up simply on paper.
He was just a heartless soul,
Simply a dream maker".
