Letter to a Legend

Dear Sylvia,

This world has changed since you've existed in it. Women are well educated now and may become whatever they please. They only admit persons into an asylum if they are truly insane. Courting is for the religiously devout. People don't care about writing or poetry like you did. Anyone can be a poet. I know you would disagree. Relationships are kept alive from afar with as little human contact as possible. Children learn to grow up the minute their father walks out the door. But, as much as I hate to say things have changed, much has stayed the same. There is still war going on; men bleeding for a hope that we will someday be invulnerable. Money is still the root of all evil, there's just less of it. People still lie, cheat, and steal when they think no one is looking. Iniquities still haunt the human soul like it was the first day and the apple was that red. Would you have made the same decision if you knew the future? I believe you would. It just would have been sooner...
