All Change

Too many changes, differences and loss
Some changes are necessary,
Others don't count the cost
Of change

Change of direction
I am sure I don't know,
This way or that way
Which way should I go

The indecision is driving me mad,
Because some of the changes
They are reckless and bad,
Change for the better

I'm all for that
Should I clap,
Or pat the person
On the back.
Who makes changes for the better,

Why mend something?
That does not need mending
Especially when serious changes
Are always pending.

And need urgent attention,
Climate change, for one
It is a bone of contention.
The force of nature is strong,

Where are we going wrong?
There are viruses in the air,
They are everywhere
Causing death and sorrow,

Heartless people who have power
Give no thought about tomorrow

Devastating winds, fires and floods,
Famine, unrest and wars
Bloodshed by many
Is this what we were born for?

Who shall we blame,
At the end of the day.
Point the finger and smugly say
Things have got to change,
As we look the other way!
