It's like watching Jordan score

Abraham Lincoln with four score

80 the year Lennon was killed

Legends never die

 

It's Michael Jackson moon walking

Johnny Cash with his Folsom Prison Blues

Nelson Mandela from jailhouse to President

Legends never die

 

It's Shakepeare with his pen

A Titanic love story like Jack and Rose

Rosa Parks standing up for not wanting to stand up

Legends never die

 

It's Albert Einstein with E=mc squared

Twins, Apollo and Artemis being so called "gods"

Jesus proclaiming that he is God

Legends never die

 

So you ask yourself where do I lie?

Greatness really just depends on your state of mind

Knowing no matter what happens you will achieve

Look to the sky and proclaim yourself Forever King.


The author's comments:

I was incredibly inspired by the artist Tragic Hero's album My Own Worst Enemy, which details him overcoming himself. Apart from that it started early this summer when I stumbled over a bible verse in 1 Peter that challedged me to do great things. I hope people will read this poem and just be encouraged and believe in themselves so they could become the new legends. Imagine that, being the person that inspired another person to become a legend. I also wanted to lightly put it out there that legends are conneceted as I tried to string together the people I mentioned. No one can live life by themselves, we need each other.
