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.
