Change


      The Future of us,

The past plays itself over and over again in the hearts and minds of the people that surround me

Crew Socks

Vinyl Records

Faded, Rolled Up Jeans

Bands that have long past their 15 minutes of fame

It has all came rolling back like the clouds in a thunder storm

These are not bad things, no, the issue is much deeper than that

Nuclear War

Racism

Economic Depression

Political Upheaval

The violence of the past is supposed to change the future

To prevent it from happening again

So when will repeating that past teach us not to repeat the past?

This is the task is set out before you today

It is too late for us, we are silenced by the pop culture and hate

So change

Change the Future us

Remember this message when you begin to notice this pattern again and again

Change

Please
