afraid of change – v3

They are afraid of change
of an unknown future
but change is coming;
They are happy as things are
though they are changing
the ground beneath them is shifting
as if they were standing on sinking sand

They are afraid of change
of purposeful action;
But they are blind to the movement
they do not see the loss of sand
with each tide turning
that change is already coming
growing ever stronger
