and they will rise

but

what of the children

of the unborn

the unlived

the descendants

off their creations

what will

become of them

will they shatter

and later on

become a monument

of the forgotten

or shrivel

like weak refugees

and die

I'm really unclear about the meaning of this poem. Who are the unborn and how do they have children, creations, or anything to shatter? How do the unborn die at the end?
I feel like there's a lot of depth here that I'm missing an access point for. I like the juxtaposition, for example of shattering and later becoming a monument. I also also like the contrast to that of the shriveled refugees. #lrwp2018
