Letters of Last Resort

Dear Sir
Regrettably you're reading this so
That must mean that we did not survive an attack
Likely
You lost your friends and family but
You must put aside all of your personal hurts

You are the shield
There are burning arrows falling from the sky
Oh. The world you knew
Exists only in the stories you will tell
Remember

And so
The future rests upon your shoulders
Atlas was not a patriot, remember that
Wisdom
And foolishness are often confused
But never before was the difference so stark

You are the sword
Buried up to the hilt in the stone
Oh. Humanity
Does not perish with a hundred million souls
Remember

A brave new world
Terrible for us to comprehend
Oh. Waits for you now
Should I rather it were you than it were them?
