Change … [a poem by my late GREAT Mother]
Change?
If there is so much that
is
and was
and always
has been
How can change be absolute…?
by whom
with what
and in what context
do you want this arbitrary absolute change?
Shall the change you want become
effective
because of its
effect…if…?
and for whose benefit-
exactly…?
those in need
or those with greed
more likely those who need to feed their greed
in the form of
proposed compassion.
Do not be misled by the light, coloured verbiage
the insupportable, insubstantial
miles, miles of promised, changed
assumed
truly a joke
in the reality of our
circumstance
at our ex-pence.
We need not-not the exchange
our change is within
our people
our path is set
ever forward.
