To Future Generations
~Just so you know,
~All of us in this time we live
~Were not players
~In the era of greed.
~Some, albeit few,
~Wished to leave you a world
~In a condition conducive to your living in it.
~Our voices were ignored by the many
~In their rush to take as much as they could.
~
~So, my friend of the future,
~Don't paint 21st century man
~With a single brush.
~There were those of us who cared.
