what kind of world

it scares me to think
what our kids are growing
up in

what kind of world
have we made and left
for them

it's so hard to believe
how far we have come
and then

how far we have strayed
and are creating, leaving filled
with mayhem

what will it be like
once they are grown
up enough

will they be able to
recognize what we
once had

or will it by then be
so far gone they'll call
our bluff

and we will finally pay
for all we visited upon them?
it's sad....
