Nothing has changed

Nothing has changed

The rules remain the same

as they have always done

as they did years ago

They didn’t suit you then

They still don’t suit you now

but they haven’t changed

And neither have you!

You, who has the gall

to stand there and shout me down

acting like I’ve done something wrong

by working within these norms

that exist to benefit everyone

and not just you

Which is really the root of the problem!

However, you are not a vedette

to whom all mortals bow

Neither are you the sun

around which all planets revolve

We live in acceptance of these norms

These rules that have not changed

and if we can all live by them

Then ask yourself

Seriously, why can’t you?

Because nothing

Not one single thing,

has changed

I have been writing mediocre poems since childhood. To me the process of writing is a release and the results, however mundane, give me a sense of pride. I am a busy teacher, mother (hockey mum), wife, pet owner as well as being a reader, sometime raver and a reasonable friend.
