Because of Us

We carry guns

Because our fathers carried guns

And our fathers carried guns

Because of us

We keep killing them

Because they keep killing us

They said to shoot at them

So we did

We wage war

Because our fathers waged war

And our fathers waged war

Because of us

We pray to God

Because our fathers prayed to God

And they prayed to God

Because of their fathers

Reviews

This is not my best poem
Something about generational morality

[FrancescaX]

Well...the sins of the fathers would be visitations unto the children. But, I think you had something else in mind: what made you write this? Honestly. I want to give a good review but I need to know how you felt before you wrote it. 😃
