Poetry
My great grandfather was a writer
His name was Bienvenido Santos
And he wrote acclaimed novels
Short stories
And poetry
He passed away before I was born
His life created art that continues to live on as a part of him
I'd like to think that I'm doing the same with my music
As in creating a great work of art that will continue to have life
Even after I am dead
Art that contains my observations and thoughts regarding myself
The changing world around me
And my place in all of it
Art that essentially functions as a time capsule of me and my life
Art that my great grandchildren will be able to experience
So that even if society has collapsed by the time of their lives
They will be able to hear this poetry
Created by me
So many hours of so many days of so many years of my life
I didn't know what to do
I needed a reason to survive
But I found it
I found it
I found it
I found what I'm meant to do
It was in front of me all along
It won't be long
It won't be long
It won't be long at all
Until everyone knows my name
Feel the temporary warmth of fame
I just hope that I don't regret it
But this is what I'm meant to do
After all
It's alright now
Time to say goodbye now
Won't be long now
See you soon just not now
It's alright now
Time to say goodbye now
Won't be long now
See you soon just not now
It's alright now
Time to say goodbye now
Won't be long now
See you soon just not now
His name was Bienvenido Santos

Won't be long now
See you soon just not now
