I Apologize by Old and Blessed

If you’re reading this two-hundred years from now and the globe is simmering from sauna-like heat and humidity, I apologize.                                                                                                   If crops are facing challenges never seen in human history, I apologize.                                                     If the oceans are slowly meandering to the back yards of coastal homes, I apologize.                           If it’s difficult to plan outdoor activities because you’ve no idea what the weather is going to be like from one minute to the next, I apologize.                                                                               If you live in a world where death rates are elevated no matter the advancements in medical technology, I apologize.                                                                                                                  If the gap between the haves and the have-nots has widened instead of contracting, I apologize.                                                                                                                                                                 If history tells you that we were aware of what we should have done to give you a better inheritance, but we were too busy chasing money and too afraid of being woke, I apologize.                                                                                                                                                        My prayer is that you can fix the mess we gave you and that you will finally take the lessons history offered and make a better world.                                                                                              If you choose not to accept my apologies, I understand.                                                                         I wish you Godspeed!                                                                                                                                          I’m old and blessed…hope you
