Memories

People say only memories 

Matter in the end, that

All of us will end up only being in

Others’ memories 

But what does this craving mean?

The craving to live long after death

Humans are so self-centered that

All they could think is about their “immortality”

In the larger scheme of things

Nature treats just as a bag of fleas

Yet humans have this grandiose feel, 

That they can live in others’ memories

And they are superior to other species 

This superiority will bring its downfall 

When the downfall does come

No one will be there to have you

In their memories
