Shakespeare: The Poet of Posterity
By: Jared Lampe
To Shakespeare
That poet of posterity
The master of love
The master of stories
The master of words
Your living record
Has yet to die
If it ever will
You have defeated sluttish time
And Mar’s sword
Like in your sonnet 55
Your memory
Has outlasted
Those gilded monuments
Of princes and kings
You have fought
Gainst death
And have been remembered
Yes you William Shakespeare
Will live in Posterity
