Replace old memories with new ones.


Mankind wants to push on,
and not realize the results.
So push he will to the break of dawn,
despite Mother Nature’s insults.
He destroys all of Nature’s gifts,
and makes no attempt to replenish them.
Despite the death drop cliffs,
not realizing that nature is such a precious gem.
He only wants progress and production,
not caring about what is soon to come.
Never seeing the destruction,
will he ever ascertain what he has become?
Yet there is possible hope,
perhaps the mind of a child will one day drag us up this slope.

The author's comments:
In The Flaw of Mankind I tried to express how I see a portion of man. We as humans often neglect to realize what we destroy when we use our resources without replacing them. But yet some small spark of hope that is the next generation, our children and their children just might have the chance to at least try and fix the mistakes we make today if they are properly educated.
