If the future was more kind
without misfortune few deny
perhaps the fear would be removed
from procreation of blessed broods
the call to family some resist
is the outcome of that persists
when grandparents have condemned
the world resulting from their sins
inheritance should be boon
instead the cliff clearly looms
the edge within sight of all
only dooms the tender ones
the elders who will fall away
are the ones that had betrayed
now future parents hesitate
to set a sentence of doomed fate.
