Life is just a legacy
that people leave behind,
their genes are in our body
their ideas are in our mind.
Circumstances cause emotion
places provoke thought,
experience is knowledge
education we are taught.
Our actions are the result
of all these things together,
and we pass on the legacy
so we can live forever.
