Social Change

My beliefs and values constantly change,
they are not stagnate, and will never remain the same.
why this is so, I may have a couple ideas,
a shift social change I guess is the biggest one to fear.

Gone are the old ways, once were warrior styles on,
you can't beat the shyt out of everyone, when things go wrong,
people are actually watching now, what each other do,
all ready with there phones, to ring the cops on you.

This has evolved over years, people are forced to change,
no longer are they allowed to hide there shames,
you see it on the television, displayed everyday,
remnants of those, who want things to stay the same.

Through there humiliations the lessons are taught,
you act a certain way, you will be caught,
as more and more laws are passed, to correct peoples ways,
upset are the peoples, restricted by law that will not sway.

Some of society is slow I guess, it's taking a while to catch on,
social conscious is here now, it will never be gone.
you hear a mighty uproar when people get singled out,
trying to bet the system, cut it out.

Social change is a good thing, I wish I had it in my time,
but it conflicts with my beliefs and values, always conflicting with my mind,
I push myself to adapt, re programming all I can,
being able to change I think, makes me more of a man.

Social change has never been the enemy, the enemy lies within,
all it's ever really done, is point out peoples sins,
unlike some people, who think they know it all,
social change has a better vision, for a bigger brighter world.
