Letter to the Future - Alchemist

Unknown reader

Not yet conceived

Inherit the world my generation leaves

I fear for you

There will not be

The natural pleasures

There are for me

I can drink the water

Can safely swim in the sea

Eat the fish from the rivers

And see the forest of trees

Slowly yet surely things are starting to change

A world of uncertainty its people deranged

We’re so good at killing each other

We churn out war machines

They spend billions exploring the stars

While home on earth millions starve

I wish I could help but I don’t know what to do

With good intentions I’m the problem too

Description of my earth

Is all that I can give

I can only wonder

About the world in which you live

Unknown reader of tomorrow

I write to you with guilt and sorrow

I live in a land

And time that’s free

I hope it’s there for you

What there is for me

They spend billions exploring the stars

While home on earth millions starve

Unknown reader

Not yet conceived

Inherit the world my generation leaves

I fear for you

There will not be

The natural pleasures there are for me

I can drink the water

Can safely swim in the sea

Eat the fish from the rivers

And see the forest of trees
