Immortal Flesh

I am a man,
born of mortal flesh,
conceived by those around me.
without these around me
I am no longer here.

For my being is based upon others.
I in them and them in me.
For i can become immortal,
But only by becoming mortal can I do so.

The flesh of my flesh by being in them
I can become immortal.
In the mind I will stay,
forgotten or remembered,
When remembered then and only then will
I be immortal.

When my flesh is no longer.
I am in limbo.
Not from heaven or hell
but from immortalness to mortalness.
Immortal or Mortal after my flesh is gone I will always be.
So I and my kind are an immortal race of great potential.
