In An Instance

MONIQUE BARBOYS

One moment
everything is right
The next moment
could be different
Some have one day
Are the same that have not
the next day
To be free and understand
To have and gain what can not be taken
is the freedom
That is worth the gain
That supposedly cannot
be changed in an instance
