Heirs
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)

My tribe has reached its end

As there are no more heirs

To carry the name forward.

 

It will be buried in time

Along with that of others

Whose heirs ended too soon.

 

Who can know the reason

Why some produce so many;

Their heirs are centuries long.

So sorry to learn about that, George! I've always thought you have children.

Fortunately for us: Both my husband and I have large families on both sides of our families, (we have 3 children of our own as well), so we will not have this problem. That is why our children are so precious!

Sorry to hear that. But then, as you often chide me, this is just a poem and not you. In spite of many family trees ending, humanity struggles on and has now reached nearly 7,000,000,000 souls. It's a shame we are so many taking up so much space and consuming way too much for our own good, often in the name of growing our" tribe."

I can so relate. When I'm gone that ends the line. a touch of melancholy.
