To deny change is not to grow,
Or ever pass go,
And never to know
The answers to questions
You long for today.
Head of clay,
You can say that today
You don’t care to be aware
As long as you stay- – – –
– – -the same
remain- – – –
vegetablized, minimized,
– – -emotionally paralyzed.
Frozen memories of a yesterday
That you once knew
Never to digest or recess
Inside of you-
There is unrest.
You hate your life
But you love yourself so.
Soundly impossible,
They’re one in the same bro.
As the world changes,
So must our causes and views.
It is changing now—
Turn on the news.
I used to believe
In justified homicide;
A life for a life, an eye for an eye.
But,
Change soon found me
With it’s merit and zest……
….. And now, jaded heart of failed test’s,
I believe life eternal would be best.
