poem 6 comments challenge: General/Free Write

Dear future generations

We cannot do this. 

And do not try to reassure me that 

We are stronger together. 

We are intelligent and can influence the world.

That is wrong because at the end of the day

We are only children. We are not good enough.

And nothing you say will ever make me believe that

There is hope in the future.

We are in our control

Never will I say

We cannot do this. 

(Now read it from bottom to top)

    Wow! You had me angry there for a second

    "Meet me
    where the end begins,
    in echoes,
    where your world is me,
    and my world is yours."

    Oh my gosh! It's so hard to write one of these and you have perfected it! This is the best mirror poem I have ever read!

    *hugs computer to chest* really love this. I love these kinds of poems in general but THIS one is particular is so so beautiful.

    I write because the music of language spoke to me in books and I wanted to make a beautiful noise to answer back ~ Lee Williams.
