Echoes of Ancestry
We live in a world
Where everything is fast and new
We chase the latest trends
And discard the old as obsolete
We don't have time
To listen to the stories of our elders
To learn from their wisdom
And appreciate their heritage
We think we know better
Than those who came before us
We ignore their values
And disrespect their traditions
We are losing our roots
Our connection to our past
We are forgetting who we are
And where we came from
We need to slow down
And pay attention to the old generations culture
They have so much to teach us
And enrich our lives
We need to honor them
And celebrate their legacy.
They are part of us.
And we are part of them.
