Notes About The Poem

Legacy

what kind of world
are we leaving behind
for future generations

forbidden dreams out of their grasp
within unchartered confines
of unprecedented realities

i see their trusting innocence
and share a mix of guilt and shame
as failed custodians

Good one Line. Good question. I wonder though if each generation has thought the same thing?
