Change
Change
By: Tom Wright
2000
Ever-present,
always on the Horizon,
often disrupting lives, causing choices to be made.
It invades our comfort zone and many feel threatened.
Often embraced, but sometimes fought, as a Child would It's nap.
Some are meaningful, many unnecessary--
Coming at lightening speeds.
Many are initiated by entrepreneurial desires,
to fill some niche, and of course, make a buck.
We deal with one and another is upon us
for it is a perpetual thing.
As the ill equipped contemplate, how shall we keep up,
others adamantly declare, we'll have no part of these things,
only to find themselves being swept along as dust before a broom,
kicking and screaming, into the new millennium,
by Change.
