Change


My mother once said,

"Change is good."

And I see that, when two smiling women

Get to hold up their marriage certificate

Proclaming to the world,

"Our love means change is good."

But

Like all things

Change is hindered only by fear and hatred

And

If I could take just one thing and rearrange it,

Just go out and change it,

I'd turn people's perspectives to color from grey.
