Stagnation
stagnation a trait
which many soon come to hate
for what it negates
refusing to look, see, hear
beyond beliefs most hold dear
hardening one's mind
to those seeming unrefined
yields socially blind
unaware people are blend
of diverse thoughts, forms and trends
becoming like rock
which requires an extreme shock
to look past own flock
know evolution's in play
existence makes new each day
stagnation a curse
making humanity worse
stuck on self-same verse
closed minds have great distinction
which leads straight to extinction
