After Death We Must Still Live Poem by Qiniso Mogale

After our burial we must still live
While sleeping in our graves
we must still live
After last rites are performed
we must still live
After tomb stones are erected
we must still live
After our obituaries are read
we must still live
After our death we must still live.

We must continue living through our
contribution to mankind
We must continue living through the works
we've done for mankind
We must continue living through the sacrifices
we've made
We must continue living through the kind deeds
we've done for orphans and widows
We must continue living through the words we've
spoken and written
We must continue living through the wisdom
of God we've shared with many
We must continue living through the wise counsel
we've offered many.

After death We must still live
We must continue living through the values
we've instilled in our children
Our children will in turn instill them in their
own children
In that way we will continue living
After Death We must still live
We will continue living through the legacy we
will leave behind.
