Our culture is lost
The future no longer belongs to us
Today I have realized this

Today I come to create my own path
And one day I shall die
Everything left behind

Someone will arrive and forge their own destiny
Raise monuments and a culture
And there they shall remain

A new people will arrive
Free to construct their own legacy
Unbound by anything of the past

A being must be unchained.
Hi, just putting some words together. I was thinking how we all should not feel constrained to anything that has preceded us or that surrounds us. I very much love the culture that we have inherited, yet I have realized that everyone should feel free to construct their own path, their own culture and ideals and view the world in their own eyes.
Every new generation should have this.

What do you think?
