![]() The Remnants of TomorrowA Poem by Abdul AzizWe are the progeny of infamy Reared in the age of insolence; We are products of emptiness; The hollows killing resonance. We are robbers of the poor And feeders of the obese. We are the doctors of the healthy And enemies of the diseased. We are protectors of falsehood And persecutors of the righteous. We are the vanguard of injustice, The advertisers of the audacious. We are the pursuers of reason And the destroyers of logic. We are materialistic romantics, Searching for monetary magic. We are right when we are wrong, And wrong when we are right. We are harbingers of doom And preachers by daylight. We are the mistakes of a generation, The addled and the confused. We are a generation of mistakes, The battered and the bruised. We are the remnants of tomorrow Tearing at the fabric of today; As we hope for droplets of time To wash our disgrace away. © 2010 Abdul AzizFeatured Review
