In some ways quite hard to notice
Which has not a thin to do with
Who’s the POTUS or the SCOTUS
From the levels of the oceans
To the heights of mountain ranges
For a hundred million seasons
And a thousand climate changes
From the way the birds are singing
To the way the corn is growingEither shockingly or subtly
Without you even knowing
So it shouldn’t be surprising
And you shouldn’t think it strangeThat today’s a little dif’rent
And there’s been a little change
Take a look at ancient history
OH, the Romans were so cleverSure they had a good thing going
But it couldn’t last forever
And those British noble families
Living in their Downton AbbeysNow the Lord and Lady Grantham
Are both thriving UBER cabbies
Neither party has a patent
On the House or on the SenateAnd the Cavs will do it next time
And the Tribe can win the pennant
So the point this poet’s making
At a speed that’s somewhat numbingChange is happening around us
And we need to see it coming
And the statues that should guide us
Both the spirit and the letterState that every generation
Must make sure it’s for the better
So commit to make the difference
You millennials and geezersYou don’t really want to end up
Like the Lakers or the Caesars.
