The Change Is the Time
POETRY FORMAT, 6 Jul 2015

If you are my world
A start is needed
For changing
If you aren’t mine
An end is needed
For your adamant stagnation
The other says
A time is needed
For the shift
Time is given
Lessons are taught
Both are put into bin
From now on
No time
No lessons
No listen
To prevent a massive destruction
My world is broken
It’s the final
The change is the time
