Legacy
This is the art in me, freedom of life to live.
we shaped some clay to play,
with animals we made,
in the river that made loudly voices in caves
it was a small village of peace that waved
I know...
its quite a concealed revelation,
so to speak
not many have obtained the experience
to seek,
but the privileged ones got weak,
i'm convinced
i'm afraid the young ones,
wont mold a clay like the old ones,
but i'm certain the ones we molded
will become statues unfolded.

We only pray that the youth will wake & build themselves a mold of clay. Insightful pen, my brother.

I do feel like I know where you are coming from
I am one of those people who believes that we are on a road to self destruction as the human race
The way that we're going we don't need any assistance from outsiders to meet our imminent demise
I have lost faith in humanity
The repetition of mistakes from the past continuing on into the future never stops
This means that as humankind we never learn from our mistakes
When we do make these mistakes we don't admit our faults
It's a continuous vicious cycle
As for legacy that needs to be inside every individual to decide for themselves what that is going to be
