Change (Free Verse)

"A change is what must happen"
said nearly everyone.
Even the trees cry
"No, I would prefer not to disappear"
If we all can agree, then why do we make things worse?
If seven billion would do the change,
then why do we all do nothing?
"There are more humanly problems then that of Earthly"
said some politicians.
Like an unfinished coloured cube,
we give up more often then trying to fix things

Everything comes to an end,
including internet memes, fame, and existence.
"If that is the case, then why do we even try?"
"Because the odds of life are in our favor"

If all we're calling for is change,
then why is it so difficult?
"Because politians and environmentalists don't mix"
"Because capitalists, socialists, and communists
 are always at each others' necks"

Change in our behavior to the Earth
or to each other?
We say we do it for our children
when really we do it for our selves' satisfaction
for doing the right thing.

~~~~~~
The "coloured cube" refers to the classic 70's toy, the "Rubix Cube".

"Because the odds of life are in our favor" is referring to the slim chance of life in space. The chance of intelligent life is even slimmer. Obviously the odds of life are in our (humanity's) favor. We need to persevere life as best as possible.
