If I could change just one thing

What could possibly suffice?

Could I break the bonds of hatred,and save an unborn life?

Could I pause the hands of time for just one reason, a reason

To cling? 

 

Cling to an arsenal and never set it free

Create a barrier between us and devastation

Find a way to bury the seeds of frustration

Fixate the abolishment of guns in a decree

 

Could I arrange a social system where everyone's the same?

And bring about a new tradition of equality

Never again would anyone be defined by mediocrity

God would in our prosperity bless us with acclaim.

 

 

Could I get rid of abrasive policies?

Boy or Girl there would be nothing to forgo

Into beautiful trees they would grow

And stretch our education to far away galaxies.

 

Could I save the animals from suffering?

They are alive just like you and me.

So why are they treated with such cruelty?

Can I make us all more comforting?

 

 

Could I clear the haze of intoxication?

From weed to heroin to methane and lure

I would get rid of all and so much more

This society would have a clean generation.

 

 

 If I could find the perfect solution?

It's our environment I'd save

From our water, to the plants, to the smallest cave

I would cleanse this world of pollution.

 

 

What my heart desires my mind rejects.

Yet I will be the change I want to see in the world

This fleet if emotions that has rapidly swirled

If I could do just one thing, it's this world that I'd live and die to protect.
