Only a dash
A tombstone
in silent tone
defines the man
the best it can
underneath its grave
a coward or a brave
a king or a prisoner
a philanthropist or a philosopher
a millionaire or a pauper
a president or prime minister
a fool or a wise
or numerous, who could baptize
in attempts to remain immortal
knowing, “ All those things are also mortal”.
by the dash in between
birth and death dates on its screen.
