A Change in Clarity

Omg, this is really old, too. We wrote these 'Change' things for a project last year in MF... I had some epic poster that went with this, but I think she kept them all. xD

A change in clarity

Is a simple concept

But a complex process.

It is easy to say

That explanations are effortless.

However, how can one explain something

That he or she does not understand?

The person may think he understands the concept

But does he really?

If he thinks he understands,

Why would he ask for clarification?

He does not.

He tumbles through life

Believing he is correct.

He then spreads his understanding to others

Who are all deceived by the false explanation

And they transmit the sophism to more

And how do we know when it stops?

When it erupts.

This spreading is like a tsunami

It starts as a single ripple

Then it grows and picks up speed with the wind

The mere ripple grows into a wave.

Though it is not feared

The wave turns into a rush

And it is enjoyed by humans

The rush becomes a high tide

And people start to leave

But the high tide does not care.

It gains more capacity and volume

With the wind of false rumors spreading

As its power source

The high tide starts to flood the beach and village

But for the flood, it is not enough.

The wind pushes at its back, urging it to go on

Soon the rain of curiosity accompanies it

With the lightning and thunder of loathing and despise

And that flood turns into a tsunami

People run in fear of the monstrous water

That destroys all in its path

Did the people create this tsunami?

Did the pollution they produce raise the chances

Of this giant destruction?

Is this all mankind’s fault,

Or is it a mixture of that and

The inevitable power nature possesses over mankind?

Clarification is a change in itself

Being simple and complex

All at once.

I wish I could write. TTATT
