Flowers of the Forest
Flowers of the Forest is a bagpipe
lament for the dead.
This post is a lament for our
American culture as it has developed.
Now my lament is not because of
demographics, but rather a lament for shifting values that will change my
Family's life for the worse.
Now our children will probably have
to live like our ancestors lived over a century or more ago, a proposition that
turns making each generation better off based on the efforts of the present generation
obsolete for the time being. I especially lament that many millions of
Americans will probably die miserable deaths during this time of turmoil.
I don't think this had to happen,
but it is predictable it will happen. There are precedents for thinking this
way, like the Naval Academy graduating a class early in February 1941 because
most could see a war coming to the new world USA.
Now we new world USA humans are
resourceful, so those that survive this coming turmoil will be better off in
the end, I sure hope. Better off in the
end means being happy, to me, and with hope for their Family's future. And just
what their quality of life and living standards will be, nobody knows right
now, but most likely less than what our American culture has built up to today.
Hence my lament.
