Epitaph

This was a senior year high school English class assignment (i think). The date of death is accurate & a story that would take too long to tell. The last line is stolen from (if i remember correctly) Ben Franklin's epitaph.



Cory Patrick Bogner Born: March 19, 1978 Died: March 22, 2044 Here lies one man Not a good man, not a bad man Just a man In youth he was destined to greatness by others He, though, was content just to be Nothing exceptional is to be credited to him As is nothing vile or evil He was hated by few And loved by even less The small bit of joy he brought to a few Likely did not cancel those he troubled Nothing to be remembered for, good or bad And for him just as well Sixty-Six years of just being Now food for worms
