After Life Nothing But Our Verse Will Remain
After life
nothing but our verse will stay
That's all that will remain
Our material possessions
will be distributed,
scattered about
with no real purpose.
They can't be taken with us
to the afterlife
so they will just
fester on earth
and wither away.
But our verse,
this can last forever - - -
be passed down
to future generations
provide comfort and aid
to our fellow
worldly citizens.
Will outlast concrete and stone,
become eternal.
