What kind of world will our kids inherit?
Rife with uncontrollable viruses and untreatable cancers
Depleted of natural resources like fossil fuels
Barren from deforestation
Atmosphere polluted
Ozone layer fractured
Water reserves falling.
But worry not,
There is hope still.
For our children
And their children’s children.
For they will also inherit
Mankind’s unique adaptability and ingenuity.
Written for FOWC with Fandango– inherit
Very well written! A bleak picture, but as you said we still have hope!

There will always be hope as long as there are humans.
It is our safety valve.

I am an undying optimist – I still hope humankind will wake up and make the necessary changes to preserve out world for future generations (or perhaps I have my head buried deeply in the sand).

So true.
We are lost without hope.
