Change the Player


The more things change,

The more they stay the same.

The true art to changing the world,

Is changing the people in it.

 

Poet says politics,

New political system resides,

New regimes rise,

Poet says politics.

 

Poet says politician,

The corrupt and the level-headed fall,

The open-minded take control,

Poets rejoice.

 

Poet says war,

More get involved,

New wars start,

Poet says war.

 

Poet says war starters,

Civilizations take notice,

Over throw the war monger,

Poets rejoice.

 

Changing the game doesn’t

Change how the player plays it.
