Five Years

Five years.
Batten 
down the
hatches.
Change 
like no
other.
Through
the ages
millennia 
past.
Generation 
to generation 
same as
before.
What was
is what
was.
Millions
came and
went.
Little 
change.
Simpler
times.
Simpler
lessons 
passing 
on.
No more!
Exponential
acceleration.
Senses 
bombardment.
Overwhelming.
Overload.
Technological 
tsunamis.
Change 
as never
before.
Stressing.
Fracturing.
Everything,
all around.
Civilization 
under 
duress.
Fives
years to 
unrecognizable.
