☆ Change ☆
Things don’t really change.
The nature is perpetual and complete-
If one bird or animal dies,
Another is born;
In totality,
Things don’t really change.
Certain flowers bloom
In a particular season,
When you cross the clock of time,
And touch the base again,
They shall blossom once more.
Things don’t really change.
The rivers keep flowing
Year after year
And if you touch the shore of Ganga
At a particular spot
Again, after decades,
You will find the same
Turbulence or calm,
Things don’t really change.
The human nature
Is also steady.
Rarely do you see an arrogant person
Turn humble,
Or a crooked mindset
Change into noble.
Things don’t really change.
Or at least, it appears,
That things don’t change.
If you want change,
You have to be the agent of change;
You can really do wonders!
