The Last Generation

I ponder if the last generation may already have been born and if so who will be left, us humans for to mourn? Will any apes carry on beyond our time and evolve until they can record our crimes of such wanton waste and foolish pride that had we but observed such a reckless slide in others we might have tried to warn before all hope had become forlorn... Yes, it is but my casual speculation there may yet come a leader from some nation who captures the wit of day dreaming men and sets them on a rational path again. Let's live in hope that leader will emerge soon before the last born child yearns for the moon to offer refuge from a scary place, one made by a thoughtless race for power and money and baubles which will be worthless when dug up from a ditch by any life that follows our time just seeking food from among the grime... ©Rhumour June 19th 2010
