True. Artfully depressing, but true. Oh well. At least you managed to put it in graceful language.

But nay, one thing won't die...there will always be one person in the world who can make something good out of something bad... ;)

I love this! It's wonderfully depressing.

I especially like the lines "Your name will be forgotten/ worn away by time/ and any glory you create/ becomes dust and grime"

Great job!
