In All Its Forms

one man outlasts
many seasons

one generation outlives
the past

we are steadily
inhabiting the future

transcending yesterday’s
structures with
science and math

but we must still
stop and look

at the paintings

in our grandfathers’
hallways

read the classics
take classes
on Irish and Chinese history

photograph
the White Rhino

visit the coast
before the waters rise

because water may endure
(in all its forms)
long after
this human mystery

It will take us especially the new generations to realize that our future is till in the hands of our grandfathers, this is a wake up call for all to stop and look back from where we are coming before we inherite technology fully. Thanks for call.
I just think towards that direction.

You have managed to combine past ,present and future in one write love this one yet in all isn't the message still the same stop and smell the roses?
