I never understood
Why people hate change
They want things to stay the same
A life constant tame
Yet change offers a new horizon to behold
Out with the safe, the constant, the old
Be careful not to throw out the baby
With the bathwater knowledge for-told
The one constant thing
In life is change
You can live with
Certainty, believing
Your thoughts
Are correct and true
And that’s all you knew
You don’t know what you know
Until you realize
The parameters of understanding
Your comfort zone
You don’t know
What you don’t know
Until you realize
You don’t know it
And then, in fact,
Through realization not
Lack of procrastination lightbulb ON
Epiphany moment, YOU KNOW IT!
The dichotomy of knowledge
Boggles the mind
Constant change, you will find
pandora’s box Until the end of time
I never understood Why people hate change
They like things comfortable Not rearranged
Something new can be strange
But isn’t that the name of the game?
