<div style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:black;">Hi group 1,<br><br>Abbie informed me that I had already submitted something for September. I decided to choose Legacy as my submission. Just in case there is still confusion, I've pasted my submission below.<br><br>Leonard<br>----<br><br><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<p class="MsoNormal">Legacy</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am a space time wanderer,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">looking for a place to dwell --</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">a land of prairie grasses --</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">verdant, shadowed woodlands --</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">rushing, tumbling crystal streams</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">flowing to ponds and lakes,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">abounding with fish and fowl, </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">living oceans vast as skies,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">that twinkle with firmament </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">in dark of sacred nights,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">and rains to wash all anew.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Go, my son,” my father said.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Travel where my time is done,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">and take this land in times to come.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The future belongs to you alone.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In gratitude and expectation,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I mounted my waiting flying steed,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">who carried me through passing years,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">swiftly on his timeless wings;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">so quickly I could not perceive</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">the landscapes changing under me.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When the sweeping Sun and stars</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">cease their pinwheel streaking swirl,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I look down upon a wasted world,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">where forests once stood, a burned-out grit</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">festooned with stunted plants and bugs --</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">prairies silent of beating hooves --</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">deserts sweltering in heat of night --</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">wormed-out mountains of barren rock --</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">streams and lakes, long now, oily dead --</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">oceans reek with the smell of death,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">in embrace of a torrid wind.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I scream out to the sickened land,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“What, in God’s name, has happened to you?”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And Earth answers in gasping breath,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Your father took faster than I could give.”</p>
