'' What's not in a name?"

"What's in a name?" asked Shakespeare
Everything, say I. Name rules this globe
As love rules the heart. For man lives to
Immortalize his name, like the stars in the
Sky. If one will not, another will by his
Deeds, since name is the beginning of
Everything. Sow good deeds in the world
You name will grow like a tender wood
Sow bad deeds in the world, your name
Will decease like the sponge of the root
Life is a long odyssey, and in this journey
Once you would be left, with only your name
And you, deserted by all materialistic tunes
Then that day my friend, you will know the
Value of your name, and if somebody says
"What's in a name?" then you will yell to
Him, "Tell me, what's not in a name?"
For name is the grandeur of the buried soul,
Which makes life shine, like the Sun in the sky.
