Change?
With many injustices this world is torn
With apathy its people do race
With malice the masses exploit the unalike, for being born
With a different-shaped face
With bitter cold sadness I watch all of this
With helplessness I wonder why
With all of our progress this hatred persists
With what means can I even try
To better this world, make it fairer and just
To make it worth living for all
To rid it of hatred and of greed and of lust
To have world peace once and for all
If I could change one thing, then it would be this:
I'd purge Earth of all those who seek but to harm
If every bigot would cease to exist
I'd certainly feel much more warm
But our world is not only intolerance and hate
I'll admit I have been slightly dark
But we still have a long way to something great
Our citizens need but to hark
With everyone listening, all eyes and ears turned to a word
With which all can agree
A message to clear all confusion and stir
A message to make harmony
So closing this poem I've one good thing to write
In regard to the state of society
In looking back on this long human plight
We've come a long way latterly
