Engaging write, Roeland. I like it, and the message you spread with it. We need to think about the next generations more, and find better ways to care for our beautiful planet.

Phew! What a great piece. That last line ‘And once more make sandcastles of hopes and dreams come true’ really comes off. Nicely done. This message is poignant in our times.

I’d like to issue a grievance though; no true elder would enslave. This comes with the lack of true elders. What we’ve got are unfinished boys masquerading as men, most of whom wouldn’t recognize an elder if one were pouring honeyed wisdom in their broken ears.
