To Those Born Later

Truly, I live in dark times!

But in the darkest hour, there will be a light for those who have suffered for those who mourn. Let us never forget, because they forgot us.

Yes, we’ll remember, remember the sun, with a softer light, for there will come a time when we will speak of the heavens, our feet shall tread on the gleaming earth.

The stars will twinkle above, whoever takes a step, whoever takes a breath shall carry a message, our lives entwined, as we embrace the tender fields, rejoice in the treasures of life.

• Bertolt Brecht
