No man can be relevant <br />After three generations. <br />A few might be relevant <br />After two generations. <br />Most of men are forgotten <br />Within their generations. <br />If at all a name exists <br />After three generations <br />It is as good as irrelevant <br />As his progeny would branch <br />Out beyond the traceability.<br /><br />Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/after-three-generations/
