Sadly there is always people to remember as there is always a number of wars around the world. But it is chilling that some day in the future, if humans wipe each other out, that no one will be left other than those AI hubs most family homes seem to have one or the other big giant corporations, who also more than dabble in darker arts.
Potent haiku, thank you.

KATHRYN J. STEVENS's haiku just kept resonating with me on so many levels. It also reminded me that my father only told me one awful story during his generation's war.
