Can A Man Be Great Poem by Liam Hughes

After I've taken my final breath
Will the world wonder where I've gone
When it's time for me to live my death
Will the light I've lit be shone

In this world can a man be great
Or does only foolishness prevail
As we argue the long standing debate
The world seems to love those who fail

Greatness lies in a darkened cave
But no one seems to want to seek
To venture inside you must be brave
But with cowards appointed the futures bleak

Is it right for my judgement to be passed
Or should my thoughts be left unsaid
Is it just hope for those who've come last
Or should my words be left unread
