POSTERITY


Once we come of age in life

We do what is necessary to thrive.


We get married not just to satisfy

We beget children to multiply.


We earn salaries or make profits

We save a part to meet family needs.


That is just not limited to ourselves

That includes our future generations.


We let our children get educated

So they find their own path ahead.


We expose them to games and arts

So they pick their own interests.


We build a home to stay safe

That also provides us roof till grave.


Children eventually grow up in similarity

The cycle must repeat itself for posterity.


This cycle is not limited to only human beings

It takes place even in animals insects organisms.


Even plants and trees bear fruits with seeds

Seeds in turn grow up to be new plants or trees.


Cyclic action for sustenance a natural phenomenon

It is diligently followed by water earth and moon.


All species follow this cycle naturally

But humans break it for being comfy.


These cycles have been repeating ever since

To maintain on earth an ecological balance.
