People Evolve

People, we are, and people evolve
Yet another mystery, overdue to be solved
If our views are predestined to, one day, change
Then proving our point, well it seems rather vain

I like to keep things, under my thumb
A predictable existence, nice and numb
I struggle to vouch for my current convictions
Knowing one day, I’ll coherently ditch them

If you don’t stand for something, for anything, you’ll fall
Tattooed by a sharpie in the handicap stall
 and elsewhere, too, this quote, I’ve saw
But, people, we are, and people evolve

Nice poem...Everyone evolves...some slower than others but eventually all...even when convictions are built on straw...A good one to raise consciousness... All the best Anna
