To The Little Girl In the Future
I write to the Little Girl in the Future.
In case you have forgotten...
In case you have forgotten the beauty of the swirling passions of the primitive past
Of the befuddled mess of humanity, of errors, of sorrowful defeat
Of the thousands ways that we could have been better
Of the millions of questions we left for you to answer
Of our feeble minds devoid of reason when faced with our self defined impossible
What limits we placed on the limitless and how we governed ourselves with emotions that too often led us astray.
_____________
When you look back from your hopefully perfected world
To the mess we made upon the innocence of the Earth
I hope, Little Girl of the Future that you do not scorn us, do not laugh,
for the undeveloped developing children that we were
______________
I write to the Little Girl in the Future
In the hope to remind her
In the hope to remind her
That we are but twins seperated by time
That the line connecting our humanity is simply the acceptance
That you are not seperate from the flaws, but made beautiful by them
That in whatever paradise we achieve in the self solving algorithim of the world
You remember that the time line never stopped and started again
But continued on...
