Descendant Poem by Laurence Overmire

Descendant

There was a time when the information
Was available
Readily available

But it wasn't deemed important
Or perhaps there were those
Too proud or angry to care

And then they died
Those who had the answers
Disappeared

And now what we need to know
Is lost
No way to retrieve or

Re-construct
We can only live with the not knowing
And try to find a way

To make it relatively
Comfortable.
