09/06/2020 - Iso Well-Being Compilation
I used to think that people would change,
That they’d somehow see the light
And they’d wonder how they ever thought
As they once did.
I see reasonable seeming people
Hold the most bizarre beliefs possible
When it comes to politics or religion
Or just how to treat other folk.
It’s an uphill battle over the simplest of topics
Like treating people equally
When it comes to the colour of their skin
Or their sexuality or their gender.
Trying to have a civil conversation
About anything slightly controversial
And you turn into a modern-day Sisyphus
Rolling a very large stone up that hill.
So, now, I just state my piece
And get on with the rest of my day
Knowing that people don’t change
And there’s no point holding my breath.
