An apology to all of the grandchildren

DEAR GRANDCHILDREN, WE’RE SORRY, Ikkuma.com   GARY LEBLANC  September 29, 2043

Dear Grandchildren,

We’re sorry for…

… playing God with mother nature and destroying our food chain with GMOs and indiscriminate biotech engineering.
… neglecting our health and burdening you with insurmountable health costs. We felt we were entitled to do what we wanted.
… destroying our oceans. We didn’t collectively protect our oceans from the billions of tons of toxic waste we dumped in it daily.
… killing off entire species of animals for our selfish wants. Ignorance was an easier path than activism.
… forgetting the meaning of community. I can’t tell you when we stopped supporting those in need. The philosophy of abundance just seemed to take a back seat to one of scarcity.
… ignoring the effects of climate change. We just thought it was too expensive to address the issue. It was too easy to pretend things would be ok.

We really hope you understand. You can’t blame us. Nobody knew this would happen. In the meantime, listen to this song. And really, we’re very sorry.

Sincerely yours,

“Grandparents”    http://ikkuma.com/life/dear-grandchildren/
