Tides Pushing

Time marches on
The inevitable future
Only seconds away
Tides changing
Bringing floods
Barricades put up
But only in our hearts
We don’t want to change
But if we don’t bend
Then surely we shall break
And be overwhelmed by the tides
 

Trying to preserve
Our hearts
And our homes
From invaders
And spies
Who seek to infiltrate
But it’s only us
Seeking a scapegoat
From the tides we let in
It’s up to ourselves
To save ourselves
From ourselves
 

Change isn’t bad
But only if we let the tides flow
Push back
And we will fall
Let them through
And we shall be strong
With them
Together
We can shape our future
But only if we learn
To bend a little
