Legacy

I have inherited

a shattered future

left behind

by those before me.

I reach out 

to grasp it,

only for blood to be drawn.

It will remember the taste

as it always has.

The agonizing screams

of the unwanted future

and the cries of the long and forgotten past,

echoes in a harmony

that is sweet to Destruction's ears.

Love, hope, faith:

now all gone.

Because of the legacy

that was left behind.

Very nice, and sadly true. :/ The world is in a mess, and it's given to the next generation to deal with. I hope we can sort it out properly... Excellent poem. :)
