Monument

I want my life to be a monument

For the entire world to see.

I want to change the world.

I want them to remember me.

But will it matter when I’m gone

If they praise my name in a song?

Will it matter when I’ve died

And all my strings have been untied?

I want to carry with me all my life

The pride of knowing what I’ve done.

I want to look back and find

That I’ve been beaten by no one.

But will it matter when I’m gone

If all I did was bad or wrong?

Will it matter when I’ve died

And all my work has been decried?
