If Only...

When I was nine I was asked
What would you change in the world if you could?
And I remember thinking about it long and hard
Before replying, “I’d like to end world hunger”
Naïve in my thinking,
It seemed to be possible
To end starvation
And bring the world into salvation
Simple as it may seem
It’s really not logical
Because a wish like that seems to be so impossible
Recently I was asked again
My answer has changed
The change I see would be global
It would shake the nation with a never ending storm
You see I wish to give voice to those who can’t be heard
Those barely thriving under an oppressive hand
That they just can’t stand
My change would ignite a revolution
A symphony of cheers would sound through the world
Letting us know that our change is real
Man, a wish like that would be amazing
But until the day comes where my wish will come true
I’ll be right here writing
For those whose voice just can’t break through.
