The Great Debate

    
I say we must have change.
Our changes will consist
Of things you may find strange.
I have a little list
Of things we plan to change.

         I too say we should change,
       Change but not too much.
       We’ll simply rearrange
       Some agencies and such,
       Which means we will have change.  

Of course by “change” I mean
(And, please, make no mistake)
Not a sweep that’s clean,
Not change for change’s sake,
When I mean “change,” I mean.

         I’m glad that we agree
       That changes should be few,
       No more than two or three¯
       Changes by me, not you.
       It’s nice that we agree.  


You’re twisting what I said.
         You’re mangling what I meant.  
The polls say I’m ahead.
         I should be President.  
You're mangling what I said.
         You're twisting what I meant.  
   

Dear Reader,

Can I be direct with you?

War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.

First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.

But we can’t do it without readers like you.

Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.


Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
