To Future Generations

Hello. It is very nice that you study my poetry.
I hope you are enjoying university.
It must be nice to be debt-free.
It must be nice to have never had to decide
Between spending your income of groceries or medication.
I hope medical care is better in your time and
The disabled are not forgotten
In hospital beds or prisons.
What? The U.S. still has the largest prison system in the world?
Then you are a disappointment.
Do me a favor:
When you study my poetry,
Do not pretend to know my suffering.
