Poe's Eulogy

Who shall lament at my demise

When this world below I leave?

Who bears proof with blood-shot eyes?

Will one among you grieve?

Who will stand when I cannot

To trumpet deeds I've done?

Am I the one that time forgot

The name that people shun?

Who will walk me to my grave

And mark the place I lay?

Will one step forth, he who's brave

One strong enough to pray?

The seeds I've sown have fell in vain

For the darkness steals the light

They'll simply say, "He was insane"

Because of things I write

If not one tear shall fall for me

The world will one day know

I need not your sympathy

For I am Edgar Allen Poe

[David O Whalen (O Haol..]

being a Poe nut I liked this very much Whiskurz. Well written as you always do,but one change possibly. Fourth verse "have fell in vain" might better (and maybe more correctly be) "have fallen in vain"
Excellent just as it is, but were it me I would at least think about it.
