HI there !
Summary:-
In this poem , Shakespeare tries to convey the message that nothing in this world can outlive his poetic verses , be it marble or the monuments , that are covered with gold. The monuments wear away with the passage of time , but his poetry written to his friend , will live longer than the stone monument which has been left uncared for.
Next , he has contrasted his verses with the ravages of time on monuments. The fighting , wars all overturn the monuments. They get demolished forever and everybody forgets about them after sometime. But neither Mars , nor the God of War , nor fire can erase the written memory of his friend's life. It will continue even after death. The future generations will also admire him and he will live in the hearts of people till the doomsday , i.e , the last judgement day.
