Predictable

In a world where change is inevitable we never see it coming 
new and more advanced search engines 
hairdos that shock us with color and multi dimensional form 
faster cars that run on solar energy 
foods syringed with synergetic fibre, may or may not be  
lethal to our health...
Plastic trees and recycled items that make us wonder,  
what was it once before ? 
weather buffets that whip us one day and stroke us the next 
hyper media intoxication that makes us beg for temperance
In a world that is one day your best friend and the next 
your adversary, 
I'm glad I have a home to come home to every night 
I'm glad I have a family that never leaves my sight 
I'm glad I don't like change enough to give up being
 "predictable" 
In this volatile world where nothing ever stands still for very long,
I'm glad I reached an age of appreciation, for the same old song.

I completely agree. Love, food and shelter and a bit of the unknown, is all we need. Kind wishes, Kai

Loved the way you set this up, Pixie. You made the 'Predictable' so cozy and comfy, so attractive! Nice entry for Nina's contest. Season's best, Gershon

I liked the way you portrayed the contrast--be predictable my friend--our loved ones want us to be that way--especially in a world that is not so-- as you well demonstrated.
