Progeny

This is for the haggard posterity,
the ideas of life yet to come
yet to realize.

Look at the lives we,
this collective ghost,
have lived;
the sins against
generations we've commited,
the lines of the history
books we've omitted.

Learn. Now.

Our mistakes
are not
to be yours.
Tread lightly in the footsteps
of our lies, my youth.
