"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.

TREMENDOUS WENYU
(The Profound one)
- Zimbabwe

The poet persona gives the attributes he wants to live by. He wants to be remembered for trustworthiness, justice, straightforwardness and humility.
