Millions of centuries, millions of stars
Drought in California, water on Mars
Computer in your pocket, computer on your wrist
Global warming, earthquake warning, struggling to exist

40-inch TV now swapped for the 5
Both polio and pandas soon no longer still alive
America the conqueror, America the free
Black Lives Matter, housing debt, and me
 

A lot of things changing, not all of it good
But there’s not an establishèd way that it should
So take you what comes, and then come what may
Watch the light ever dawning upon a new day.

Bonus haiku:

Count by days, it’s fast
Count by weeks or months, it’s slow
But years, again fast.
