Constant Changes Are Part Of Life Poem by Hebert Logerie

As the world turns, it is experiencing
Constant changes, which are taking
Place all the time. If things don't change
Things go bad, rotten, spoiled, deranged
Or deteriorated. Positive growth
Is paramount. We must take our oath
Seriously, to improve all types conditions
All types of terrain. Our immediate actions
Warrant us to respond to unforeseen
Or negative activities. We must be on the scene
In appropriate time. Changes are occurring
As we breathe, as the needles are moving
Time does not stay still; no time to pause
To kiss ourselves. No reason to applause
It is our responsibilities to effect changes
To be better than a moment ago. Ranges
Are not static. People are being born
And many are dying. This is not a scorn
This is the reality that we must deal with
As the waves intertwine, do not bequeath
The wreath to the devil. Fight every time
For our inalienable rights. Protest our way
Life will never be cheap. Do not be swayed
By treachery and nonsense. No time to pause
The world changes all the time beneath our toes
If we do not change, we do not live; we die
Like the sterile turtles. We disappear, we vanish
We melt away, disintegrated as we lose our niche
Changes take place all the time, no need to cry
No need to lie or deceive ourselves
Together, we can defeat the evil elves.
