You hear Paul O'Mahony reading his poem "Adoration" - twice.

"

Dying to be remembered

Dying to be loved

Yearning to be celebrated

who will prolong my life

in a world

where so much is forgotten

almost before it has been born.

ideas

characters

adventures,

history,

biography,

and I

return to dust

dust they are,

and dust they will remain.

On the cutting floor

there is no eternity.

Good morning,

good afternoon,

good night.

Good mourning

"
