Eternal Fame

So many human beings who live and die
in the slow turning of our world in space,
rise from the soil and gaze at the vast sky,
lost in the waste land far from the power race.
While wandering on the beach I read each name
of famous kings and warriors who achieved
wealth and success in the world of bright fame
who ruled heaven of the vain and deceived.
The waves of time wipe all our names from dream
so each new generation who begins
to play the game of control land and stream,
will contest over who loses and wins.
Yet those whose stories last beyond all death
are sung by poets with immortal breath.
