When I Am Dead And Gone Poem by Matt Starking
When I Am Dead And Gone
When I am dead and gone,
My name will still live on.
For I leave behind a legacy,
Of love, kindness, and bravery.
In the hearts of those I've touched,
My memory will be clutched.
Stories of my life will be told,
By the young and the old.
My name will be whispered,
In admiration and respect rendered.
It will be etched on stone,
As a reminder of a soul known.
I may be gone from this world,
But my influence will still twirl.
For the good I've done will last,
Long after my time has passed.
So fear not, for I am alive,
In the hearts of those who strive,
To be like me, kind and strong,
When I am dead and gone.
Matt, You sound like ME! ! You sound like 'my kind of guy'. You sound like...., well, like you are 'full of hot air'! ! ;)
Don't worry, Matt, I do NOT 'fear'. I especially enjoyed 'touched'/'clutched'. It's been a while (decades?) since I've heard 'clutch' used as a noun, verb, OR adjective. : )
Matt, GOOD LUCK with any attempts to ' to free mankind from racism, political lies, religious superstition and illusion, but living with a positive attitude towards each other, thus unifying, reforming and transforming the human race.' You'll need some luck. ;)
There are other 'typos' in your bio, one of which is 'God gifted latent in him'....ha ha...which I believe is meant to use 'talent', not 'latent'; 'talent' IS used later in the same sentence. It is a LONG, interesing bio.
(cont.) In your bio I believe 'lessons' is spelled as 'lesions', which are (of various definitions) some things most people would NOT like to have. ;)
Re your PH bio: 'The Nzema state is located in the southwestern part of Ghana. Another name for nzema is Apollo. And also, nzema is a language in Ghana. ' (cont.)
I think Linda Bella Wassermeister 'borrowed' your title for her shorter, somewhat humorous new poem. Perhaps YOU borrowed it from someone as well? 5 (five) stars : ) bri

When I am dead and gone, I won't be missed a bit. As time goes on and on, no one will give a ****.
