When at last I'm gone,
to my everlasting home.
what will be my lasting legacy?
will I be judged as one who had no mercy?
Will the guns I use lead me to a perfect place?
that I ran a good race?
will they say I was very bad?
making others often sad?
will they say I was peaceful?
or I will be tagged a troublesome fool?
will I receive a heavenly heir?
or rewarded a tormenting hell?
will I be called religious, ethnic and racial?
who was always never impartial?
what will really be said of me!
when at last I'm gone,
to my everlasting home.

I loved your poem Solomon. Remain blessed. Voting full stars for you.
But it is so important to think of death, because only then you are conscious of living a good and noble life on earth.
Very few people ponder about after death. Most people think of their present life.
