It is what it is, and it will always be that way....

 what be

                It is what be...
                just like it was then.
                just you ask, them old men
                "nothin changes, of what we see"

                Rich, gets richer
                poor man then, still poor
                just you ask, them old men
                "nothin changes, what be, has been"

                Voted man stands...
                good times, they acomin
                just you ask, them old men
                "nothin changes, but he lies good"
 
                God, where is he...
                preachers stand and call
                just you ask, them old men
                "nothin changes, he has given up"

                They know its so
                ain't nuthin changin
                Nope, theres nuthin at all...
                "nothin changes, who said it would?"

Hello Richard,



Sounds like a "blues" song from the South, with guitar and harmonica background. Partly true, but changes come from each of us and we live our lives by the choices we make, regardless of who's in the government or in the church. Very crafty poem here.

What will be will be, Nothin changes fast and we have to endure for a while what is meant to be.
