Man is born
Bare at Infancy
Holds innocence
Sees only the light

As he grows up
Learns to mobile
Commences to chat
Says only good words

Upon maturity
Reasons to argue
Fights for innate rights
Knows evil from good

At old age
Tells past tales
Of human gallantry
Writes essence of life

At death
He is forgotten
Only his best poems
Thrive as remembrance
