What kind of world are we leaving for our children?
Questions from Hades bubble up from its pit
the living dead overflow with words
Patience and fortitude are not virtues
silence and stillness are
kindness would not be
when empathy could be given
being intelligent is also not
thoughtfulness is
Humility is
not thinking less of yourself
or thinking of yourself less
Thinking rightly of yourself
humility is
Being clever is also not
diligence is
boldness would not be
when turning the other cheek could
erudition and cajolery are not virtues
actual, clear, and concise communication is
The resurrected soul decants works of art
querying apples of gold in necklaces of Sardian stone
What kind of children are we leaving for our world?
