Change

the land of opportunity

'merica

the land of equality

'merica

the land of slang

'merica

we criticize

we judge

we look down on others

as if they were not one of our own

we see them as a threat

we see nothing more than us

change is the enemy

evolution is the enemy

THEY are the enemy

how can one be so blind

we are ONE

we come from the same world

we were born in the same universe

how can one be so foreign

to a land so familiar

 

the biggest change

this world must overcome

is the change of equality and goodness

for we do not see that in others

when we see change

we become afraid of what will come

we are afraid of what will be different

but change is good

it will aid us in the future

it will allow us to explore

the various worlds and cultures

we were so blinded by before

 

we must admit change

we must allow it

we must embrace it

we must accept it

change
