Change is the thing that happens thorugh time

If I could change something

Most people would say the whole world

Or time itself

But it seems impossible to do either

When the world might fall apart

At the change we have in mind.

As one day I believe if I could change History

Deleting the dictators and slave drivers from it all

The world would be an empty place

With faults and all because

Without them God could have not given Moses and so many others

The important roles they have in history

And the many enslaved would not know the meaning of freedom

Like so many today do not grasp

We would also not know the true meaning of fear

And how it brings a group of strangers together

To do what is so debatably right

And we would never understand the concept oppression, racism, and ethnic differences

As they are something worth fighting against

That will take on a different face every generation and era

Only to deceive us from achieving a true harmony

So you could ask me what would I change but, I have to say nothing

Because if I were to change something today or tomorrow I would be taking away a lesson the world needs to learn

Because without mistakes where would we be

As we are like children learning the meaning no

As we learn from our many mistakes they can easily end with a dead body

So in other words if I could change something It would be nothing at all because every day we are changing

From every mistake we make.
