Roy Pett Poet Rhyme

Evolution Not Revolution

Our unfortunate world is constantly changing 
our need to become better through evolution 
a thirst a hunger for useless rearranging 
destruction, inevitable revolution,

insecurities, need for a better future
desperation directs our confused thought patterns 
abuser replaces another abuser 
so complacency shows goodness to evil turns.

peace on Earth won't be achieved through revolution
by reading animal farm I came to this conclusion.
