Name

Fame or no fame
One is known by his name
If that's taken away
Nothing shall remain

All things are transitory
But not one's name
As long as we live
We live by our name

It may sound funny
A butt of some jokes
What matters really
By our name we are known

Nameless one comes
Name he gets at birth
That's one's identity
Herein in this world

Let us do something
We are known by our work
After we are gone
There may remain our name and work

If we were to remain nameless
Our works bear no name
But what do we lose
Hereafter one carries no name

One who is nameless
He rules time and space
No name he acquires
Yet is known by different names!
