When I Die Poem by Abednigo Pitso

When I Die

Don't burry me
In a casket
Rather burry me in a book
I should say it matters not
If no one remembers my face
But the words I echoes from my Soul
I need them
To have a place in my heart.

No need to put
Flowers
Instead
Put pen to salute me
I call every poets to engrave
A poem there.

For on my tomb
I wish not to see
'IN LOVING MEMORY...'
Dare not to put my name.

So everyone who see knows
There lies a great writer
Make no mistake of saying'REST IN PEACE '
Please say be reborn in every piece!
Of your ink
I don't need tears to send me home
I need bleeding ink
To bring me back
As it is every bleeding
Ink I will be alive
Never drop your pen
You will kill me.

The question is
If I die today
Will my ink
Still be breathing in your heart?
