The world will change
Even if you don’t want it to
Even if you grasp at old straws
Protest out loud, try to rearrange
Things that are new
In ways that are old
A changed world will challenge your ways
Mock you, deride you
Force you into acceptance
Eventually, while you are left
Bewildered, disoriented
And with a longing intense
For things as they used to be
The old world order as it stood
The traditional way of doing business
The old positions of hierarchy
The new order will upend
Your position in the world
Your privilege will not be upheld
And people will no longer bend
At your discretion as they used to
They might be the ones who are
Rewriting rules for a new world
That are not conducive for you
*
The world will change, change it will
Whether you change with it or stand still
The voices of those previously silenced
Will continue to increase in their cadence
You don’t have to protest, you should not resent
To create a more just world is the intent
Passion...unbridled 
The only thing constant is change…so very true.
