The Winners of Change

Who are the winners of change The inevitable evolution of life Technology progresses Tastes flirt with trends The world advances But do we Preparation, intuition or foresight Can ensure success The ability to stay afloat But are we better for it Maybe An old man laments a simpler time But isn’t youth in hindsight Always sweeter, no matter the era I wonder Who are the winners of change I’m not really sure Perhaps, just those who can Embrace it 12/27/17

I guess it depends on the change, I think we will all be an old person one day lamenting simpler times.... however those simple times left a long time ago.. Well expressed Mike..
