what comes next

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.
