a baby

changes

so fast


 

one minute

they cry

for everything


 

and the

next they

are talking


 

the change

happens

if we want

it to or not


 

but who

says that

change

has to be bad


 

in order

to move

forward


 

change

has to

happen


 

to me

to you

to everyone


 

especially

to those

who speak

for the people


 

or claim

to speak

for the people


 

when did

the people

in charge

decide


 

that in order

for us to live

in a peaceful

society


 

two opposing

houses must

argue over

what to do


 

what makes

them so afraid

to let someone

without a bias


 

make some

changes

to broaden

the horizon


 

fear of change

is what makes

change

impossible


 

without change

our society

will continue

to spiral

downwards


 

leaving the

people hopeless

and the speakers

for the people

fighting


 

our society

is a baby

crying

isn’t it time

for it to start

talking
