On my demise
I ain't any famous personality
A character popular in locality
I'm just another person
You could call me a commoner
I'm not into extravagance
No pomp and no show
No display of anything
Nothing to brag about being
I'm just a tiny little me
Nothing heroic nor talented
Few goods and bads
Makes up for being me
Unknown to the world
Unvoiced dreams and desires
Unknown to leave the world
Without any regrets or hurts
On my demise
Build me a home
Place me inside
Seal it flat with mud
Don't want a flower
Don't need a roll
No epitaph
Nothing to distinguish
In an unknown grave
I wish to sleep
Without visitors
Without any weeping
This is how I wish to be
After I die I'll have tranquility
Till the day of resurrection
In my soft grave, to sleep peacefully
No name inscribed
In books or stones
No pictures on walls
No statues standing tall
No flowers be wasted
Kept upon my grave
No heart to hurt
Missing me so much
From within my grave
I'll nothing of earth attain
If ever you remember me
Just make a little prayer for me
I won't call my demise, sad
For I don't want any remorse
Make a charity on my name
If ever you ever remember me
Not that today I'm ill
I'm quite hale and hearty
But life's been recently such
So I leave here my final words

Humility is a great virtue and this poem exemplifies it.
