Shunyata Poem by Daniel Trevelyn Joseph

Shakespeare when alive did not benefit
From world-wide fame he earned later;
Only between birth and death is life lived.

Fame thelast infirmity of noble minds
Is nothing to be proud of, but an attachment
That would be a drag on what I do.

Indian rishis chanting upanishads in India
did not claim ownership through name,
But gave credit to forebears, so they said.

Life is lived in the now, not in history
Or posteritiy. That is for others to read of.
End for oneself, emptiness at the core.
