WWYC Poem Slam
The ability to change anything in the world, with a snap of a finger, much like a deity
Unlimited room for potential, yet unlimited room for disappointment
When given the ability to make a significant change, one must not squander the opportunity
Should one change their entity for the better, becoming physically stronger and mentally sharper?
No, that would be selfish
Should one end the conflicts in warzones and countries, bringing peace to around the world?
No, humanity is volatile and world peace would be ephemeral
Should one restore nature to its former time, replenishing the forests and ice cap?
No, the trees would be cut down again to fuel the industry of humanity, and the polar regions will dissipate by the fire of human ambition
A paradox, so it would seem
Make a change and be considered selfish, or make a change simply to have it be meaningless
To obtain a lasting change, one must influence the mental nature of humans
An implement of a simple question before every action one makes
“Do I truly believe in my opinion?”
Does one truly believe they should keep a negative predetermined disposition to a group of people?
Does one truly believe they should remain a warring country on the grounds of religious belief?
Does one truly believe they should remain static as nature is butchered for the good of humanity?
No, one would realize the world they live in is troubled by misconceptions and inaction
One would abolish hate with action, and fill the void with love, acceptance, and logical thinking
A new world – not of war and decay – but of peace and life, a utopia
All generated by a change in the way we think and act
