Shooting Star, By Brian37 (aka Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37"RationalPoet" on Twitter"
How many here
Reading this
Can name
Every President
How many here
Reading this
Can name
Every Pharaoh
How many here
Reading this
Can name every
Prime minister of China
How many here
Reading this
Can name
Every Caesar
How many here
Reading this
Can name all prior
Leaders of the world
How many here
Can name
All the pop icons
Prior to their birth
How many here
Can name
The leaders
Of the Mayans
Fame is local
Fortune is finite
Powers shift
And life goes on
Trump to Tut
Isis to Jesus
Wealth to poverty
We are still finite.
Sagan
As right as he was
Knows that all this
Is Shakespeare's fury
