Change
THEMES
Growing and ChangingTYPE
PoemChange was specially written for National Poetry Day 2018
Change is always happening
It’s a fact my friend, it’s like fads and trends
It’s like I used to write poems with pads and pens
Now I type ‘em in my phone
I’ve got stacks of them
Them being notebooks I once wrote in
My head in the clouds daydreaming and floating
Even when sitting still, we’re in motion
As the Earth rotates, change isn’t slowing
Growth brings change and as we are growing
Life makes me wonder with eyes wide open
The seasons run their annual relay
Spring passes the baton to summer
Whose quick pace and speed runs its lap,
hands over to Autumn
Autumn is cool but not cooler than Winter
I’m talking about change
Even when things seem the same
It has a mysterious way about it that seems strange
Like it seems to happen suddenly
It’s hard to explain
Even change changes
I mean, that’s its name
Change is always happening
It’s a fact my friend, it’s like fads and trends
It’s like I used to write poems with pads and pens
Now I type ‘em in my phone
And I’m rapping them
Change.
