A Poem Dedicated To All Who Come After.

Child, Lift your head.
Look around and see mankind
Fallen, weak
Denying all they could have been.

Child, Lift your head.
Look around and see your world
Cold, dying
What the dead have left behind.

Child, Lift your head.
Look around and see the truth
Inviting, dangerous
Never be afraid to question.

Child, Lift your head.
Look inside and see yourself
Beautiful, wise
A new chance at redemption.
