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
~ Sydney Mullins
