Wishful Thinking – Do People Really Change?
They say — People do not change!
And all that change I want to see in them:
It’s just my Wishful thinking
Probably true, but strange!
So probably one can talk, the other can rap
One can mimic and the other simply always laughs
Some sport a good sense of humour
Others can’t help but burst in anger
Some just write
And some simply keep quiet and love to humour others
So why bother change?
Is it not clear that all those expressions:
All of those expressions -
Are simply ways they learnt to react!
Or simply hide from change!
So I guess Wishful Thinking it is!
But wait -
Don’t they say,
Don’t they say — that people change in love!
Or all the fuss about twenty-one days of practice,
Then there you are a transformed human!
Or a mind-boggling episode,
An eye-opening incident,
Or a life-changing encounter!
So, change does happen.
A change in the stimulus,
Or a change to the stimulus one decides to alter to!
A change in the mirror one looks into!
And then decides to shun and shine,
Onto his changed world!
So Wishful Thinking it is -
For me to wish them to change.
… Until it is the time,
They decide to change!
