For my children, I give you this. In the absence of hope, I give you this.

Endless violence. Endless sadness. I give you this.

An endless struggle to create a better world. For you, a better world.

History, a curse upon you. Modern man, a curse upon you.

Racism, a curse upon you. Sexism, a curse upon you.

All the burdens of being human, we struggle to lift everyday.

What will we leave behind? A tortured, shuddering mess.
