All change

What was once familiar  now feels strange
To visit friends and kiss another’s face
To share a cup of tea and discuss change

Politics  has fled  from Shakespeare’s stage

Wisdom and deep thinking seemed erased
What was once familiar echoes strange

The  errors  of the State cause some to rage
Culture has been lessened, is defaced
No shared drinks  , just anger, crowds and change 

Would we even want a wise old sage?
In the mire strange patterns have been traced
What we thought familiar  now looks strange

We’ve seen  hearfelt protests every day
The people once despised have come of age
They   require the world  must  quickly change

So  our hearts and minds are well engaged
Can we  change the patterns quite deranged?
What was once unknown exists, is strange
Raise your drinks to celebrate, all change
