An authorized fallacy; a legacy; fame
To some it is life; to others a name...A measley few letters, leaves much to be said
Does with it come impact?
To some it is life; to others a name...A measley few letters, leaves much to be said
Does with it come impact?
Will it once you're dead?
The memory left imprinted by
those every day people and life's passer-by's
The sound of some brings anger and strife
Another's causes one to give up their life
And once in a while, there are those with such ease
That cause men of valor, to fall to their knees
The formation of words that humble a man
Remind him of who had courage to stand
An unfettered warrior? A fearless King?
A benevolent hand or the feel of greed's sting?
Will others be stunned at the sound of your mark?
Will the sound resignate with fear in the hearts,
Of the people who's lives were within your reach?
Or will your brand never cross that comfort-cased breach?
When all's said and done ,while none have the same Will yours leave you guilty with none else to blame?
Will your heart be satisfied, or hang you guilty in shame?
Just a few whispered sounds
Another's causes one to give up their life
And once in a while, there are those with such ease
That cause men of valor, to fall to their knees
The formation of words that humble a man
Remind him of who had courage to stand
An unfettered warrior? A fearless King?
A benevolent hand or the feel of greed's sting?
Will others be stunned at the sound of your mark?
Will the sound resignate with fear in the hearts,
Of the people who's lives were within your reach?
Or will your brand never cross that comfort-cased breach?
When all's said and done ,while none have the same Will yours leave you guilty with none else to blame?
Will your heart be satisfied, or hang you guilty in shame?
Just a few whispered sounds
leaves it ALL IN A NAME...
