Death, Be Worth It

DEATH, BE WORTH IT ……By Poetic Tee (“Here, Take A Sip”) When or where life started I know not How and why it ends, confuses me more Now I am here, alive, aware and fully conscious This much I know, a nobody I wish not to be For my existence I want registered too So Death, be worth it Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad An impact on history all have made Gandhi, Malcolm X, Sardauna and Mandela Are some more in the Record Books II Is it possible I could be next in queue? Oh death, be worth it What must I do to qualify? Who must I see to know how? Where must I go to certify? Why must I be another passerby? When would come this hidden time? Please death, be worth it To die unsung I do not want A “Living Shmoo” I must not be Dead within, coward without Infamous, that’s not my league Evil was their trade, so their end Why death, be worth it I want to be remembered, currencied But all that glitters is usually not gold At my burial let stand a million souls Lamenting my passing to a greater beyond And yet may it be known, here indeed lies a Man Yes death, be worth it.
