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.
