Alive

I wrote this a while ago, not sure what I was thinking...

Past problems cannot be known

As the present ones persist

We can't be forever young

If we don't know how to live

As slowly as the grass blows

Time will not slow

for even the brave

the cunning or the cruel

changing the world

one matter at a time

problem after problem

day after day

forget what they say

do as you do

don't forget who you are

as you evolve into something new.
