If Nothing Changes
If nothing changes, then nothing changes.
We will merely repeat our history,
Ignorantly observing how life is
Damned by reveling in the past's glories.
We will watch ourselves rot and stagnate
As we stand in a stationary place.
We will watch the same thoughts saturate—
No matter what difficulties we face.
Wars will be ceaseless—each city destroyed—
And children will never learn to have pride.
We will remain hungry and unemployed,
Living listless lives worse than suicide.
If nothing changes, then neither we will we.
There will be no future for you or me.
