What's Needed for Change
Change.
Everyone wants it. Even me.
But then I think about what I must exchange,
In order for my change to be.
I don’t want any hate,
But if everyone can only love,
Then how can anybody really know what it is to feel great?
I don’t want any ignorance,
But if everybody knows everything,
Then will anybody really show brilliance?
I don’t want any war,
But if everything is peaceful,
Then wouldn’t there be problems everyone would just ignore?
I don’t want any poverty,
But if everyone is well-off,
Then will anybody be happy with their salary?
The world is not perfect.
I understand.
But we cannot make one change so fast without some side effect.
Let’s take change slow so our world doesn’t turn into Huxley’s, everything bland.
