Conservative in their ways and in their thinking they do not embrace change in any way <br />They fear change as a threat to their existence as conservative through their lives they do stay <br />They resist change as if change is quite harmful as things were they wish them to remain <br />Their flawed values of rank and class distinction are things that they do fight hard to retain <br />Conservative people change not known to welcome on any change they like to have their say <br />They crave respect for their old ways of thinking whilst respect to those who want change they don't pay <br />No thanks to them that changes are occuring since they want to keep us tied to the past <br />They cannot accept that time brings with it changes that nothing as it was does seem to last, <br />Conservative people always in abundance their type never have been known to be rare <br />They live in Villages, Towns and in Cities you can meet their kind of person anywhere <br />To them change is something that should be resisted to the old ways with reverence they do cling <br />They fear change as much as they do fear the reaper as if indeed change were a dangerous thing <br />Suppose it takes all kinds to make up humanity and conservative people will always fight change <br />They look on people who to them are different as those who are untrustworthy and strange.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/conservative-people/
