Legacies


a ceiling fan rotates untold revolutions

each day as it is never switched off and

continues to rotate until the motor dies,

much the same as human life except its

life expectancy is far less than man's...

the ceiling fan is taken for granted and

is always ignored until not working,

but man is noticed everyday by what

is done and how it is done and how

much output is produced...  which is

unlike the ceiling fan since no one

measures how much air it displaces

or how much cooler the room is...

The ceiling fan earns no wages but

uses resources in its operation,,,

these individual resources are never

calculated to determine its efficiency

or contribution to those in the room...

even though both with eventually die,

mankind does try to make a contribution

that will last well beyond their lifetimes.
