Open Wounds

Are we not purported to
be the supposed elders

So why are we

Busy experimenting with
our children's future lives
used as collateral

In order to try and solve our 
wounds 

A problem we in fact have
created

Indeed Christopher, one word (Legacy) be it good or be it bad, I’m afraid our children if we choose to try have them, will always inherit their forebears mess, except perhaps for a privileged minority, cheers David
