Legacy




In a world that swings with time
who but man wants to leave a legacy
Others live for the day, die on another
their remains fueling the cycle of life

Matter can neither be created
nor be destroyed; so we believe
The essence of what you were
remains forever within the sands of time

Man aspires to fame
in ever expanding boundaries
Empires built over space and time
finally dissolving into the continuum

In the vast expanse of this universe
how lasting a legacy can we leave
Is there a higher destiny to man
than being part of the dance of life

Also, what's with the cow? Or the rope? Waht does it mean? Tying us all to our "roots" ? :)

Well said !
Rather than concentrating to leave a legacy in purpose, let us strive to rise above mediocrity in everything and use our talents the best possible way !

You should be posting more thoughts!
You have the flair for writing!
