Irresponsible parents
Thoughtless parents
Careless parents
Self centered leaders
Leaders who think with their stomachs
Be they political or spiritual leaders
Posterity shall judge them.
Posterity has already judged Adolf Hitler
Posterity has already judged Napoleon Bonaparte
Posterity has already judged Joseph Stalin
Posterity has already judged Idi Amin
Posterity has already judged Mobuto Seseseko
Posterity has already judged Muamar Gaddafi
Posterity shall judge Robert Mugabe
Posterity shall judge Jacob Zuma.
Posterity judges harshly
Posterity judges mercilessly
Unfortunately generations pay the price
Generations bear the brunt
Let us correct our mistakes
Let us repent from our sins
Let us put things in order while we still breathe
Lest posterity judges us harshly too.
