"TO BE REMEMBERED FOR" BY TREMENDOUS WENYU
Let my words be more
Let me be subject to truth
Let me be hated for truth
Let me be loved for justice
Let my name be read
Like a Himalayan ,I perceive blunder
Like Pacific, I want to sail dozens of lives
Like Kilimanjaro , l want to be the pride of Africa
Like Everest, I want to be at peak
In history I want to be read like Hitler
In reality I want to be like air
In pain I want to be solace
In death I want to be the casket
Correct me when am wrong
Correct me if I write blasphemy
Correct my manners if I overreact
Correct my thoughts if am wrong
Correct my ego when it surpass.
In happiness don't forget my name
In sorrow don't forget my name
In non-existence remember me
In Injustice, barbarism and struggle
Let Tremendous be the pathway.
