We live in a world that is changing quite fast,
Where little if anything’s certain to last;
Once vibrant industries now have closed down,
Leaving quite desolate many a town;
Political systems have crashed to the ground,
Which once were assumed would be always around;
Old customs have vanished, replaced by some new,
Remembered in time by no more than a few;
Alliances change, and the friends of today,
May be looking tomorrow a quite different way;
Many trades of the past now no longer exist,
And obsolete skills form a very long list;
Life’s pace is increasing, and time is so short,
And many are finding they lack the support
Of a world which is stable, where changes are few,
And they don’t have to constantly cope with things new.
