How I want to be remembered

Don’t worry, I am not leaving anytime soon

I just want to be remembered through my artistry of words which was my gift of gifts,

Remembered for being diabetic and slightly mad

Eccentric character who was being himself, and not going through any fad.

I want to be remembered through my poetry

A wonderful person who wasn’t scared for what he wanted to say;

The lunacy of articulation, which not to be fully understood 

Not like those rappers who starred in: ‘boys in the hood’.

I want to be remembered through my art for the love of people

Approachable who you knew where you stood

A Christian lover, a prophesier, just like Jesus could.

I prayed for my enemies 

I prayed for those who were my friends and were in need, 

And not to get brownie points, for like the feeling in how Jesus did bleed.

I want to be remembered for making others laugh

I want to be remembered to say how I truly felt,

I don’t care if others wouldn’t understand me, as my plead for others should never be shown, despite the way I knelt.

‘How I would want to be remembered’
