Magnificent, Richard. What this reminds me of is that wisdom does indeed tend to pass away with those entrusted to hold on to it. If only there were a way for some wisdom to remain....immortal. Great poem, Richard.

Thank you, M.J. I think that certain cultures pass on wisdom through rituals, songs, stories, etc.

I think leaving with wisdom should mean donating one's dead body to a hospital for organ transplant. Otherwise, people generally want to die in peace. The poem spurs one to introspect. Thanks.
