This world
Is becoming more machine
Than human
We're all
Marching in straight rows
Down an assembly line
Too focused on being in step
Than on what's going on and why
And it's all for the sake of society
The sake of conformity
The sake of needed to belong
Metal hearts and concrete minds,
Shutting out anything we don't deem "acceptable"
Locking our doors to avoid facing change
To our little bubbles of safety and routine
Which can be okay for a while
But the world is too cold sometimes
Too harsh, too unforgiving,
A cruel Arctic tundra that refuses to let anything new grow
And we need to melt the snow
It's okay to step out of line
To help the person who tripped,
To stop marching in a row
It's okay to make cracks in the concrete
To let tiny shoots of grass and flowers spring through
It's okay to change
It's okay to be different
And it's okay to want something more than just the cards given to you
So
Don't just accept change,
{Be the change you wish to see in the world.} -Mahatma Gandhi (emphasis added)
