"Inertia" a Poem by Dalton Johnson
INERTIA
“If you can’t fly, then run
If you can’t run, then walk
If you can’t walk, then crawl but whatever you do,
you have to keep moving forward.”
For
An object at rest, will remain at rest.
And
An object in motion, will remain in motion.
For the change you wish to see
is unattainable,
if you yourself are not
the change you wish to be in this world.
