DIDACTIC: "WHEN YOU ARE GONE" BY PROF. SILAS EGBOWON

What will people say about you?

What legacy are you leaving behind?

Some are dead and forgotten 

Some are dead but their memories linger on 

Some are remembered for the good they have done 

Some are mentioned for the wounds they inflict on lives 

What memories are you leaving behind?

What legacy will trail your name?

When you are gone,

What will you leave behind?

PROF. SILAS EGBOWON

The bard uses straightforward rhetorical questions to encourage readers to live a positively humanitarian lifestyle so that successors can learn and enjoy good attributes from them after death comes.
