What is a Legacy What's the equation that leads to the sum that is A Human Life The curtain draws as it must and when it's done... We spill out of this "Life" a grocery bag of idiosyncrasies, neuroses, hypocrisies, and other I-sees What are we in the end but broken pieces of a puzzle we leave for others to assemble--who cares if the pieces fit. Someone found a Kind word here Another a Generosity A memory of a Lie Proof of a Cruelty Acts of Humanity by a human being acting... Who knows me well enough to define my Legacy? Who else but "I"
I like spoken word poetry (a lot) and this poem works best if it's read in that type of tone.
