afraid of change – v4

By their actions, their inaction
their sense of comfort in the present
they are exposed, the state of their thinking;
They are afraid of change
of an unknown future
but change is coming;
They are happy as things are
though things are quickly changing
the ground beneath them is shifting
as if they were standing on sinking sand

By their actions, their inaction
their sense of comfort in the present
it has become obvious, conclusive;
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
and it is growing ever stronger
