I need to apologize to my son
Not just him
But everyone of his generation
I am sorry kid
We ****** up
We delivered you into the wrong hands

We did not prepare you for what was coming
You are going to have to suffer the consequences of our failures
and for that I am so sorry
We left you to hate
and incompetence
and people who don't care for anyone other than themselves
and what they consider their kind
They don’t know that they're kind is part of all the other kinds that came before

I am sorry that I did not live by the one single edict I told myself when I had a child
Just do a little better than your parents

I don't have to have spectacularly better plan than they did
They made choices
They made mistakes
Now that I'm a parent I can see why

But I can also see a way out
A better way
Just do a little better than them
Could you imagine how great our generation could be now?
If each parent just did a little bit better

Did your father skip out on you?
Don't
Did your mother abandon you?
Don't
Did your parents beat you?
Don't
Were they not there for you?
Did they neglect you?
Did they not feed you?
Not take care of you? Love You?
Let you know that you were the most important person?
Don't

I'm sorry what's coming *****
Our parents actively worked to make it this way
We knew it was coming
All we ever had to do was make this world better
and we failed

We did not fight hard enough
As parents our job is to protect you
Take care of you
Make it better

We did not
We have made it worse

I just hope you can do what we could not
Just do a little better
