My LegacyA Poem by E.M.OglesbeeI wanted to write something profound, Something that would change your life forever, And during my exertion of thought, I have realized that I am nothing I am nothing but an infinitesimal speck, In the vastness that is our universe. I can not change my size in the world For size is the one thing that defeats man And I will forever be tiny and insignificant, Not play a role of any importance. Unless… Unless enough people hear me, Enough hear my words And remember my name Then maybe, just maybe I will have mattered. For man’s greatest fear is not death, It is knowing that the world will be no different When he is gone. My legacy is now in your hands, Do with it what you will. © 2011 E.M.Oglesbee |
