The Inherited Foolishness Poem by Scott Ransopher

Accidentally, supposedly
Discovering her shores, slowly, eagerly
Sowing your seeds, forcefully, brutally
Raping her grounds, incessantly, foolishly
Damaging her gifts, regardlessly, wantonly
Filching her goods, unintentionally, unknowingly
Wasting her resources, apathetically, disturbingly
Realizing their errs, remorsefully, apologetically
Attempting to change, timidly, reassuringly
Learning to teach, respectfully, peacefully
Adopting their lives, knowingly, assuredly
Living as equals, naturally, intimately
Loving her, endearingly, continuously,
Inherently, eternally.
