When our names are no longer whispered From the lips of our successors When our achievements are but a distant memory To those who inhabit the future It's easy to forget We continue to live Through the will and actions of others
Like a domino effect All it takes is one person To change the world The ability to influence is passed down Like the soft ripples in a pool Till the cycle starts again Forever repeating itself
Thoughts that influenced this poem:
-Why the ability to influence others for the greater good of human kind is so important. - I want to leave the world knowing its in good hands and that i've made it a better place whether its on a small or large scale. - Inevitably I will become an uncle, a god father, maybe father and I have to set an example and selflessly make the world a better place.
