A Legacy

All gentleness and wish for change;
The fantasy of truer life;
The fascination of the strange;
All civil uses for the knife;
Ideals of justice done or due;
All memory or hope of home;
All trust of others or of you;
All thought of what they might become -
Your children will forget. They'll fight
Beneath the unclean skies; and then
The lights will go out. From that night,
The lights will not go on again.
