You can have eternal life-
Just impress someone. Stun someone.
Embed yourself in their mind and you’ll have won a prize comprised of
perpetual life.

If you’re wise, you’ll impress the world.
You’ll live forever in conversations between girls,
boys, women, and men-
Your name will leak from the tips of their pens.
You could be immortalized on pages
bound in books
that lie on desks
inside of classrooms.
You could be the topic of online chat rooms,
or blogs
that will exist after your physical body is gone.

You can become famous- or infamous
the choice is yours.

Einstein lives behind our science,
Morrison behind The Doors.
Washington throughout our country,
Mozart lives throughout his scores.
Hitler lives inside the minds of any human with a heart,
but that kind of eternal life will tear people apart.

A positive impression upon everyone you meet
seals a life after your death in slab of hard concrete.
Don’t allow yourself to pass, leaving nothing but closed eyes…
Just because you’re dead, doesn’t mean you have to die.

So true.  People have made impressions on me, and they will live forever in my heart.
