Children of Tomorrow

This is the great big world we will see. It begins inside this hatchery. Since Our Ford made it reality, it has been home for both you and me. These are the children of tomorrow. Give them happiness without sorrow. In harmonious community, we are strong with solidarity. Zygotes renew our identity; each a pillar of stability. We will expand our society. It is possible with you and me. From the alpha down to epsilon, the quilt is sewn at each echelon. We insure that life shall carry on We shall make each stitch continuous. All our borders are contiguous. With Ford’s help, it shall be congruous. Take pride in your working as you go. Care for the fetuses. Watch them grow. These are the children of tomorrow. Based on the 1932 novel "Brave New World" by the late Aldous Huxley

Wow! What an interesting spin on the message in Huxley's novel, Robert. I recently learned that Ford is outsourcing some of its work to South America and that made me sad. American jobs lost because it's cheaper to build in Brazil. Excellent rhyme and flow add so much to this awesome poem! Love, Carolyn

Poignant and most powerful write Robert ... passing what we try to salvage now onto our children and grand children is certainly a challenge my friend.. enjoyed your brilliant words today with luv..
