you're achievements - your
a thought-provoking question - if our generation is not honoring and remembering the achievements of our ancestors, why should we expect any better from our descendants?
Will our achievements be buried with us?

GW, Why are you torturing me with this amazing poem. The artwork is indescribably gorgeous. Definitely, the spirit of our ancestors and their achievements breathe through this work. The rhyme sings at a high pitch. I am obsessed.

Sometimes the ways of our Fathers were not the Christian way. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.

Error
Will you're (your) achievements be worthy?

Hi Deepwater, I really admire your work, although I don't think I have read it all yet!, This is a lovely philisophical piece of work, I'm pretty damn sure that your achievements will be worthy and that you'll leave a legacy to your descendants in your brilliant writing!

I like the implication in this poem. . .
however, in terms of being "worthy of being remembered by our descendants" - from the Native American perspective - pride and honor was a sacred trust. And as a born and bred American - pride and respect have echoed through America's 240+ years of history for the deeds of our ancestors (constitution framers) - - -so in a way, the poem contradicts itself.

An intriguing and thought provoking message, GW. The accompanying artwork enhances your message. One spag: your rather than you're. Thanks for sharing. Alana

A very valid point. We have to respect and appreciate our ancestors' achievements. We owe our freedom and our way of life to them.
One possible Spag- will you're achievements: I think this should be "your" not "you're"
