I

I created fire
I paddled the Amazon

I wrestled tigers
I built the Pyramids

I sailed the seas
I fought at Waterloo

I abolished slavery
I painted Mona Lisa

I tied the noose
I pulled the trigger

I wrote the book
I sang the song

I was Jack the Ripper
I killed Kennedy

I climbed Everest
I walked on the Moon

I lived, I laughed, I loved, I died

***

I will see you again, dear
I will return

I will colonise Mars
I will cure disease
I will build a time machine
We will live forever
