Some Day Soon
The idea that at some point in the future
My name will be mentioned for the last time
I'm just a blip on the timeline of man
Destined to be forever forgotten
I was unable to complete my life goal
Failing to live by making history
Perhaps it's eighty years dull history
That makes my past, present and my future
Spent aimlessly wandering with no goal
Willingly wasting my precious brief time
Missing my chance to not be forgotten
Ever overlooked by the best of all man
Someday soon there will be no living man
Able to confirm my slim history
On that day I'll truly be forgotten
Consumed by the promising new future
Vanishing from memory and space time
To prevent this grim fate is life's main goal
Admire and respect religions goal
Emulating the perfect humble man
Made by the creator of all known time
From early dawn of our species' history
Including the past, present, and future
Religious laws easily forgotten
Although I lack faith, nothing's forgotten
Religions help achieve mans distant goal
Immortality into the future
So that his name is known by every man
His legacy encompass' history
His praises sung long after his mortal time
Who can know what happens when out of time
One can only avoid the forgotten
Strive for their own chapter of history
Achieve much in life, despite no true goal
Focus on your duty to fellow man
Rather than the uncertain dark future
Even if my vision of the future
Is of typical delusional man
I will still achieve my brief life's main goal
