Nature of Change
This poem, or parts of it, were floating in my mind for at least a month, but I didn’t feel the words were there until today, Dec. 11, 2007. I guess I have to come to some conclusion about my thoughts instead of general ranting and raving about the subject. That was the hard part. Then my headache went away after I wrote it.
Nature of Change
The changes in nature are the nature of change,
and nothing really stays the same.
Choices made by people affect other people
they don’t really know.
It’s predicted that it will snow in the
Bahamas due to global warming,
and it goes to show that no one has total
control of events in their lives.
In the role of history, it seems like
happenings tend to repeat themselves,
just in a different place and time;
but yet different people are involved,
and outcomes may be different.
Past attitudes affect the future.
It goes to show that no one has total
control of events in their lives.
In the role of evolution, it seems like
the bigger they are, the harder
they fall, and strength and power
are merely a temporary situation.
Only those that change to current
conditions survive the cold.
It goes to show that no thing has total
control of events in their lives.
In the role of religion, there are many
faiths with a common theme,
and all in their own way explain the
world’s beginnings and the end.
But I don’t have to believe my friend
who thinks I’m going to hell.
It goes to show that no one has total
control of events in their lives.
