I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds

Are immune to your consultations
They’re quite aware of what they’re going through

Turn and face the strange

(David Bowie, Change)
