Never Let It Happen Again

To you, a person in the future who I will never know, in this time capsule you will find things that this world I live in shamefully has. I hope by the time you read this letter all of this is unknown to you, like it never happen. You will find a skull jam-packed with bullets from a fallen soldier, the wars that have started from the smallest of problems, the sounds of stomachs rumbling from countries all around the world, the thirst of a dying man that has gone without fresh water for days upon days, the king hit from an idiot too drunk to think or walk and a knife with blood stains from an innocent being. Please keep all these as a reminder of how the world once was, however I do not blame you if you just lock these away or throw them out. They are not the nicest of things.
