The World Dislikes A Change

it is painful
to see the face of
denial

the guy with guts
does not surrender

laughs it out
and takes in what should

have been vomited
at once

he omits failures
and begins anew

the world has to learn
more of this art

it is harsh to any
change

unable to open
its hands to something

new and beautiful
innovative

the world dislikes
an innovation

but it is going there
sooner

one day it wakes up
embracing you

as its hero
its unnamed savior

your death
cannot pay it.
