What is a man,
but of his own memory.
Flesh and blood,
barriers to ones personality.

Decisions we make,
creates our history.
The tears we shed,
fade away with the dieing memory of a man.

My insperation is my dead uncle, no one ever recalls him or takes the time to make a prayer in his name, to others hes simply a faded memory or a shadow of the past... to my uncle whom I love and cherish his memory
