Evolve

 
We evolve to resolve matters of the mind and heart
Otherwise we would never be able to grow
And those who won’t learn may not be so smart
They choose to stay the same or move really slow
 
There are those who seek knowledge to understand
Expanding their horizons they become clever and wise
Then there are some with their heads in the sand
They lack vision when they try to see with closed eyes
 
How the world worked over a hundred years ago
It’s not the same as what we can do now
Things have advanced and have picked up tempo
And some want to stay the same someway somehow
 
Each day we discover something better or new
Improving the quality of life we can have and lead
While some wish stay with things we all once knew
They see no need to flourish, believe or succeed
 
Some won’t accept change or won’t learn to adapt
They fear the things they don’t understand or recognize
They’re scared in the heart and their souls are trapped
Simply because they don’t know how to empathize
 
If we don’t learn to adjust and change with the times
The world will become strange in just a few blinks
For some will be swept by the tide not seeing the signs
And their kind will slowly become extinct
