The Art of Change

Deep down into the contented mind,
where the new has become the old,
and the old has become the norm,
and the norm has become the dormant,
and the dormant has no mind at all,
satisfied with its weakening state
with no intentions of moving
and no desire to change,
change would be
the rebellious enemy.
 
When change offers a remedy,
dormancy takes a resistant stand
with its mind and ears closed,
but opens them up enough to hear
the responses of the masses,
to hear what the majority says,
then change can be effective.
 
The art of change is
the insight into the
weakening of the state,
the proof of the causes,
the presentation of a remedy,
how it benefits the masses,
the proof of its validity,
the gradual acceptance of some,
the spreading of the word
until it becomes fashionable,
the new word for sensible.
 
The art of change is in the
offering of the ways to
fit in with the majority
while not responding to
the reason for the change.
