WHEN THAT TIME COMES


When that time comes
when whatever you have proudly claimed as 
'MY HISTORY' 
and 'MY HERITAGE'
both physical (tangible) and mental-emotional (Intangible)
are rendered

insignificant
irrelevant
unimportant
archaic
senile
burdensome.

Or sadly 

marginalized,
stepped aside,
sidelined.

When the time comes
where nobody gives a shit about who you are
or what you have accomplished
accumulated
gained
achieved


When nobody would ever notice
your 'history' and 'heritage'
or whatever that you want to brag or pass to

When
nobody gives a damn

When
everyone is oblivious

When
you (and your history, your heritage, your baggage) are...

displaced, 
deconstructed,
diminished,
erased,
abandoned,
thrown away,
forgotten, 
left behind.

Naaaaaaaa
not by some tired conspiracy theory

but by your very own children, 
great grandchildren, 
great-great grandchildren




When that time comes

I will whisper softly to you

perhaps...
YOU DESERVE IT
my brothers and sisters.
