Who I am is not who I was
Not just because I am older
And I’m sure you can relate as well
How people can and do change.
Core values certainly remain constant
Even as the context inevitably changes
Who I am is constructed from what I believe
Equal rights give rise to a just society.

No doubt we humans have our
tendencies
That our biological history
predisposes
But it is equally human nature to
invent
Whatever it is possible to imagine.
This subversive understanding hides
in plain sight
The way that who you are with shapes
your thoughts
The way that what you do informs your
outlook
Change circumstances and you change
behavior.
If only we knew then what we know now
Perhaps regrets would not trouble our
sleep
When letting go of past mistakes is
difficult
When holding on to memories holds us
together.
In this temporary life with the
illusion of timelessness
The way that tomorrow is expected as a continuation
As if a photograph of this moment can
keep it
What matters most is how we shape the
future.
Current events are moving quickly now
When the mask has been taken off for
all to see
Everything that is wrong with profit
ruling the government
History happens when people mobilize.
