Change is inevitable. The problem
is finding out life did not change the
way you thought it would or should
have. And instead of doing more,
we
complain and tsktsk and look away
as we proclaim the world is hellbent.
War, world hunger, human trafficking,
drugs, violence, so many people in
need
for so many different things. The
harvest is plenty, the workers few
as we fumble in our own situations,
can’t look past our shadows and look
to
the world beyond the neighborhood,
not even seeing all within the city
walls under the same starry sky.
We seem to lack the ability to
find
and grasp the concepts of others.
And yet, the voiceless cry out for a
voice, cry out for a change beyond
their ability but not ours. If
the
world worked together to make
itself a better place, a happier place,
a brighter place, what would it look
like? If a strong seed could take
root
and grow in our hearts, what could
change? Or a better question is,
what could not change? What and
where are the limitations
of
us when passion takes ahold? If
we could look beyond ourselves,
do you think everything could change?
Do you think we could even end
injustice?
It is the very core of what most people
disapprove of. It is what some people
try to fight against, but most sit and
watch because they think they can’t
help, which is what is wrong with
us.
