WHAT'S MY NAME? ~ ‪#‎14Haikus‬

...by Poetic Tee ”Here, take a sip"

Check, who bears no name?
Check again, what is nameless?
Now, ask "Why these names?"

Faces impress some
Names are transient to them. So
They forget them quick.

What contradiction!
In this life, names are sacred
Faces, we forget.

Names or nicknames get
Stolen in identity theft
Are they that worthy?

Name identifies
Authenticating our souls
None exist without one.

Name is like a reign
Once called, the owner answers
Aloud or silent.

Better a good name
Than silver and gold, though now
Most do not care.

Good, bad, names affect
Owners. Success or failures
Are tied to their use.

Give me a good name
A bad one, I pray you keep
Good names slam bad ones.

Change your name to good
If you are saddled with bad
Taught by the trusted.

Many a great man
Is remembered by his name
Never by his face.

Names are valued keys
Opening treasures hidden
In man and nature.

Names for the living
Natural or man-made. Tags
We bear, even in death.

So when you're long gone
A good name leave behind please
By it, live life on.
