Richard III

  1. They paved over Richard—that’s Richard the third
    The Richard that once was the King.
    Will I be remembered? The notion’s absurd!
    Yet who knows what the future might bring?

    Will the world of the future seek out where I rest?
    Will they quarry in search of my bones?
    Will they pore over details of things I’ve professed?
    Will they look for the truth in the stones?

    Will I live in the memories of those I have left?
    Is this rational thought, or mere snobbery?
    Will my grave be exhumed? And, for science, or theft?
    Archaeology, maybe, or robbery?

    They paved over Richard; they’ll pave over me
    And a car-park will cover my head
    My bones will be hidden where no one can see.
    But I really won’t care. I’ll be dead.
