To my dear, sweet unborn child
I'm sorry for the world you've been brought into.
I'm sorry it's not perfect
and no one trusts easily.
I'm sorry we've screwed everything up.
Blame your ancestors for the past, me for the present, and you for the future.
To my small, unknowing unborn child.
I'm sorry you might not be accepted.
Brush them off with laughs and smiles.
I'm sorry that society is dumb.
That if you're different you're shunned.
It was the same for us.
To my naive and foolish unborn child.
Make mistakes.
Be stupid in your twenties.
Experiment.
Be comfortable with who you truly are.
To my silent and still unborn child.
Curse at the skies.
Curse the government.
Live without bounds.
But don't do anything you'll regret.
Society will hang it over your head.

Something I'd want to say to my child best written. Personally I think there's (with some things) more power in literature than spoken words.

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactI absolutely love this, and I agree- society is so stupid nowadays. I love...just they way that you put your words, they way they're sequenced, how they flow. Their meaning is so deep, and how you executed your vision was excellent and beautiful.
I really like how you repeat "unborn child" with two adjectives. I think the way you did that really adds to the poem.
Recently, I've thought about society today, and i want to say that this is the best way anyone could ever put this. And I'm not just saying that. I really do love it!
Amazing!
