About Me
A wise person once told me
It’s not about me.
It’s about those who come before me
and those who come after me
Thus, I must do
most anything I can
To make our days much cooler
And our lands more greener
And our glaciers more solid
And our cities rise higher
So that in
100 and
1,000 and
10,000 and
100,000 and
a 1,000,000
years from now
People can look back and think,
A wise person once told me
It’s not about me.
It’s about those who come before me
and those who come after me
This poem is about:
Me
My family
My community
My country
Our world
