WHEN AM GONE



WHEN AM GONE

When am lost
Into the thick soil
Gone to rest
What's left for me?

When am gone to
Serve the pasts
Laid down to peace
What runs my name?

When am no more
Eating is forbidden
Walking is impossible
Writing is my enemy
Who rep me?

When am gone
My deeds rise to help
Serve as rep
It sings and rings my name

My works is left
After am lost
It wore my face

When am gone
My deeds are left
My earth works are there
