Change

Pushing the enveloppe of change,

by changing the status quo,

is by no means 'quote and requote' the obvious,

meaning what meets the eye,

is not by any length of this imagination;

a still image in the making,

its indeed fluid images obliterating,

the mass contradictions within us,

Each of these images making us whole,

Yet leaving us bereft at the core,

as we strive to find that greater calling.

painful and destructive that it may seem,

but promising endless joy in the journey,

Yearning for the eternal peace in that quest,

to reach the balance of sublime contradictory priorities,

and achieve that something in life,

making us whole from the inside out.

Here’s a refined version of your poem, improving clarity, flow, and impact while retaining its philosophical essence:

**Pushing the Envelope of Change**

Pushing the envelope of change,  

By challenging the status quo,  

Is not merely a matter of "quote and requote"—  

What meets the eye is never quite so simple.  

A still image in the making,  

Yet it is fluid, its edges constantly shifting,  

Obliterating the mass contradictions within us.  

Each image forms part of the whole,  

Yet leaves us empty at the core,  

As we strive to find a greater calling.  

Painful and destructive though it may seem,  

It promises endless joy along the way.  

Yearning for eternal peace in this quest,  

To balance the sublime contradictions of life,  

And achieve that something more,  

That makes us whole—from the inside out.
