Just a Symbolic Thing Done That Is Used

It has to be difficult,
For those sitting on fences...
In defense of historical points of view,
With a witnessing done of themselves...
And their belief system with a growing need,
To either be upscaled from outdated renovations...
Or,
Implement...
Like 'yesterday',
A total upheavel of what currently exists.
To introduce new ideals...
Without debating the necessity.

Although...
The dilemma for them,
Is in the initiating of a beginning.

This would admit a need for an ending.
And making mistakes and facing failure,
As confessed?
Is for them...
Not a position of strength to make,
Not just yet!
A way to save face has to be perfected!

They would rather keep such issues...
Exposed to await a date procrastinated.
While new opponents are being interviewed,
To test their tastes...
For playing updated games,
That will allow the proclaiming of them as terrorists.

Or threats to a way of life...
Few in private conversations,
Say or admit they like.
It is just a symbolic thing done that is used!
