My Real Identity Poem by Babatunde Aremu
My Real Identity
Like the Messiah queried:
'Who do people say I am? '
Many identify me by what they see
They identify me by my name,
Race, tongue, custom or possessions
But these are ephemeral identities
That are easily forgotten
My real identity is symbolized
By the value added to mankind
My indelible acts that speaks
After I must have left
That people will point to
Those lives touched, mentored,
Guided, transformed, saved,
And delivered from darkness
Are my cherished real identity
So, identify me,
Not by materials but values
And wisdom demonstrated
During my life sojourn
Let your testimony of me
Be: 'He lived for mankind'.
so much gratitude! ! So, identify me, Not my materials but my values And wisdom demonstrated. it is very nice to read this poem. Thank you..

Wonderfully profound and brilliant writing, Babatunde! I identify with what you say here, it's how I have always felt too! Actions, what we do with our lives and talent to help all of humanity is what lasts long after we have left this world. Everyone should read this poem, it reflects what we all need to be thinking of instead of material things that will never last. Awesome poem, I really think it's the greatest! Thank you for sharing.
