    Something Strange



    Though many think change is strange
    No one can emphatically deny
    That as time and circumstances rearrange
    It’s a must we give change a try

    It’s understood that a baby’s diaper
    Has to be changed to get rid of the stink
    But yet in many things we get hyper
    When of social change we are forced to think

    We don’t think it strange to get a divorce
    When a marriage is no longer productive
    Yet we continue the trickle down economic course
    That has proven to Many to be so destructive

    In so many things we spare no expense
    To bring about and rearrange
    Our wants desires with zeal so intense
    Because in personal things we want change

    Then when it comes to the uniform good
    For all humanity we then look at change
    In the promotion of unity and brotherhood
    We look at change as something strange

    H. Wilson

    Since I believe that eBooks and eBook libraries are the future in electronic presentations most of my work will be presented electronically only books that I’ve written to leave as a legacy will be printed the old fashion way. I don’t know whether it is the baby boom, the shape of the economy or more access to computers that is creating the explosion of new and talented writers. Writers of poetry and short stories are popping out of the woodwork faster than cockroaches breed over night or termites eat up untreated wood. I think it’s time for change and I’ve done it my way, which by the way, I think is the best way. Your poem is thought provoking, a real mix-master of ideas, I can feel the vibration of the blender. Thanks for sharing, LOL, BDC

    Thank you both for reading my humble works

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
