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
