My Legacy

I was a human not a semi god or a god.
I was subjected to time, compromised by human nature and principles.
Yet I walked with the giants and did not grow weary.
I flew with the wild eagles, and did not fall.
I lived in the time of mountains; and indeed I mounted.
Tell them I lived in my time; if you did not know then keep your ears to the ground.	
Tell them I spoke my words into the air too.
Tell them I walked leaving a footprint in the soil too.
My name is in the archives of this world and the other.
Up with the Son of the Oneness, I still live.
I forged a treasure with legacy.
Tell them I affected too.
Tell them I made an impact.
Tell them, I was here.
And I walked the walk of the brave.
