Society is an Endless River

Society is an endless river.
It begins in some far off place,
It ends in some far off place.
All who ride the river get on in different places,
On different sides, and at different times.
Some get on for the ride,
And others fight the current

Society is an endless river.
The energy of the waves
Reflects the clashes of morals.
Every person creates a ripple
That grows and expands
Until it finds another
To clash with or absorb
Creating many bumps
For other to overcome.

Society is an endless river
With endless amount of ports
Which are the many choices one can make:
To get off here, there, or nowhere
To pick up the influence
Of another people, another culture,
That does not travel the river that you are traveling.

Society is an endless river.
People are always getting on and off.
Their rafts fill the space
And leave many ripples in their wake.
These ripples influence other’s decisions
Where to navigate: through smooth or rough water?
To hold tight?
To get off and wait it through?
Or to relax and enjoy the ride?

Society is an endless river
That runs through the course of time.
The first rain drop:
The first choice,
The second drop:
The second choice,
Another,
Another,
Another.
Slowly but surely, with other’s aid,
Formed the river of society.

Society is an endless river.
