Immortal

I’m writing this, so I’m not forgotten Actions and intentions ebb, once the bones be rotten I once planted an apple tree, to leave my mark As tall as a house, still unbeknown, still my name in the dark I once painted a painting and wrote a book So I can get famous and find me a nook Though I had talent, it wasn’t in my heart Other talents I searched for, so I could stand apart During this period, I discovered I could rhyme A talent well hidden, but there all this time Eternal is my pen, the quest for immortality my aim Immortal be the victor, the champion of the game I was here!!! I want it to be known throughout the ages “He was extraordinary”, I wish to be written in the history pages Once great kings, lie in their graves, many unknowns Powerful men, who ruled from golden thrones Nevertheless for those lucky and the few Enshrined in history, I inspire to be one too Here’s my challenge to future generations Even after the coming and going of great powerful nations My words will be read, and my name will resound My voice will live on, it will never be drowned
