Legacy Poem by Nathan Killeen

Legacy



Time beats on through all of us.
Building us up
Only to tear us to pieces.

But why should I consent
To be content
With falling all away?

So build a monument
Made of me
For all thereafter to blindly see

But buildings sink into the dust,
Wood rots away,
While metals rust,

So what might be
My legacy
That I may leave behind?
