Our Mark
A dog who lifts his leg to pee
Against a trunk’s solidity
Just simply wants to leave his mark –
It lasts much longer than his bark.
An artist, in a matching fashion,
Leaves the markings of his passion.
Canvasses shout loud and clear –
I exist! I once was here…
Writers do the same with phrases,
Hoping thus to garner praises.
We all want to leave our mark
Before our destiny goes dark.
