a drop or two

 by James Ehrets

They say to Change the world

you must first Change yourself

What a convenient lie.

Change: a concept free from subjection

one can deny it; laugh in Change’s face

mould the world and everything in it

out of audacious determination

Then there is the other type

parched beyond belief,

they keep their feet far from

the flowing river out of the fear

of being washed away just

like the ever-so many condemned before

they spend fruitless generations

searching elsewhere for

what has been in front

of them the whole time;

What they are truly waiting for

is  for the one who jumps in.

they stand near, clinging

to the desperate hope that

they may get splashed with

a drop or two

Thanks for entering my world, 

-Nathan
