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
