Is It Or Isn't It... Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Is it,
Or isn't it...
What it was.
Or different.
Is it?
Or isn't it the same.


People fear a change.
Yet nothing stays the same.
But still people complain,
About that which remains...
Unchanged.

Is it,
Or isn't it...
What it was.
Or different.
Is it?
Or isn't it the same.
The complaints.
Needing change.
But they don't.

People want the same maintained,
To remain the same.
They want the same maintained...
Unchanged.

Is it.
Or isn't it,
What it was.
Is it?

Yet, nothing stays the same.
But still people complain,
About that which remains...
Unchanged!

People want the same to maintain,
Unchanged.
People want a change but complain.

People want the same to maintain,
Unchanged.
Yet when those changes come they complain!
