Past Imperfect

Past Imperfect

Will how we lived
and what we said
be held against us
once we're dead?

Might generations yet to be 
view us all with enmity
for what we did 
and didn't do?

We really haven't got a clue
what repercussions there might be
on any future progeny
(their drinking water, soil, and air)
Will they believe we didn't care? 

I hope they know we did our best
and they forgive us all the rest.

If we’re lucky, they’ll be kind
and view us with an open mind.
Then, when it comes to placing blame
their grandchildren will do the same.
