You Can Alter

Natural’s no good,
And the accusation
That someone, by naming

Or portraying
Evil as natural,
Has thereby justified

Evil, even taken
The side of evil
As how things ought to be,

Is false. Natural moves
In cruel ways. More telling
Than nature’s wickedness

Or shiftiness, are thoughts
That pointing out nature
Has been cruel forever

Forgives it. The vicious
Going on the longest
Is the vicious most ripe

For change. Noting something
Has been going on long
Generations needn’t

Be a claim it can’t change.
More ancient regimes
Aren’t less vulnerable.

Nothing natural’s not
Temporal. The longer
It’s been like this, the more

Suitable for ending.
Pain can be natural,
Not inevitable.
