Gauntlet

October 6, 2019 by nomdeplume707, posted in Bon mots, climate change, ecology, evolution, poetry, science, Uncategorized

I challenged

received wisdom,

but those who

had received that

wisdom did not

accept my challenge,

said that the wisdom

was unchallengeable,

and therefore the

challenge was wrong.

Never mind, soon I will

be gone, and then you

can say “what challenge?”

Any day now,

some day soon,

the young people

I see who are

nurses, shop

assistants, car

mechanics,

policemen; or

who are pushing

prams full of

crying babies, are

going to be old

enough to be

not my children,

not my grand children,

but my great

grandchildren.
