They Demand Change

They demand change
  Change gender rules
But defend failing public schools

They demand change
  Change over from fossil fuels
But keep their bacteria-rich swimming pools

They demand change
  Open up the border
Hamstring police -- but still keep order

So just to prove that 
  change is what they fear
They are apoplectic
  'cos climate change is here

Climate change is so obvious, and so detrimental, and that is the one that is here now. It is sad it is not the focus of change. You nailed this.
