Changes
We are always exposed to changes. Sometimes those changes are for good but others are not. When we realized that things and people we have left behind change, there is a profound sadness within our hearts. Why is there a change? Why does it hurt so much to see what we love change? Sometimes we do not want our life to change, but it does, and, unfortunately, it changes in the best moment. The poems The Return and Another Fool's Day Touches Down portray changes. The first one is about a man that comes back to his hometown, and realizes everything has changed. The place where he used to live and the people who he used to be with changed. besides being surprised of the changes, he was really sad because nothing was the way he left it. In this case the changes have been for good. In the second poem the one who changes is the person that comes back to his hometown. This person is the "fool" who consideres, that just because he has been away for long time, has the guts to show off what he has gained and what he has become. In this case, the people who love "the fool" are sad because he changed a lot! Of course life changes, definitively peolpe change. But let's try to change this world for good, not to hurt others!
