Posterity has builded
Monuments great
To men who by
A turn Of fate
Were lifted high
In glory's sky
But, like all mOrtals,
Had to die.
But remember that while
They gained great fame
The monuments point
To their good name.
For q man is remembered
Also by his crime
Though his name be dirty,
And covered with CRIME.
Monuments like people
Cannot last forever,
But q mans good name
THAT DIES NEVER.
