Words To Inherit
What if tomorrow for me never comes
And all these writings become worth sums
Published in articles for poetry slams
By a child who rose from the filthy slums?
In a closed evil world without worry
I will sleep safe and still
With my mouth sealed by the Almighty's will
Not my will at all
If tomorrow for me never comes
Then I will have left you this precious piece
When my soul shall finally surrender to eternity
Where will my words find rest?
In my empty carcass under the grave
Or in halls for competions and fame?
Put me down gently in my solitude nest
Grass will grow and wash away those memories
Tears will flow and make you spread this piece
Laugh away those ugly sorrows
When I pass like a cigar blown away by the flames of wind
I leave you nothing but this words to inherit
