change

He changes times and seasons;
he sets up kings and deposes them.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning.
(Daniel 2:21)

I ponder syllables and rhyming schemes
Until my head is going to explode.
I don’t know how that Shakespeare makes it seem
So easy even though it’s quite a road,
