Everyone longs to be remembered

Some with to have their name in lights

Others want their memory to live forever

Our entire life we try to

Gain

Gain

Gain

We go to a good school

We work a good job

We make good money

We just

Do

Do

Do

And we forget to

Think

We view the world as a scale

We ask ourselves

Why bother to helo

If they can help themselves

We are motivated by

Our needs

Our desires

Our wants

And we keep growing

Old

Old

Old

We trick ourselves into thinking

Thay maybe we are living for something

We convince ourselves that if

Death is not addressed

Then death will not come

Yet

Death draws

Close

Close

Close

To you

To me

To everyone

Death cannot be cheated

His shadow looms over us all

Everyone is forgotten

Our names will be sprawled across the tombs

Never to be read again

Yet

That is okay

For life is about the present
